mCherry (reverse orientation)
This codon optimized mCherry for Escherichia coli K12 is the BBa_K2448004 in reverse orientation.
Usage and Biology
mCherry [1] is a fluorescent monomeric protein widely used in biotechnology. Like the majority of red fluorescent proteins, it is derived from the Red Fluorescent protein from Discosoma sp. mCherry is sometimes preferred over other fluorophores due to its color, its rapid maturation time (t0.5=15 min), its lower brightness (around 50% of eGFP) as well as its improved photostability and resistance to bleaching.
