aeBlue blue chromoprotein

aeBlue is a blue chromoprotein extracted from the basal disk of a beadlet anemone Actinia equina. The protein has an absorption maximum at 597nm and a deep blue colour. The protein aeBlue has significant sequence homologies with proteins in the GFP family.

Source

The protein was first extracted and characterized by Shkrob et. al. 2005 under the name aeCP597. This version is codon optimized for E coli by Bioneer Corp.

Below to the left is the expressed aeBlue in E coli. To the right comparison of aeBlue with other chromoproteins available from the registry.

Getting this part

All chromoproteins displayed above should be available, but if the registry cannot send them, feel free to contact the Uppsala University team directly via erik.gullberg(at)imbim.uu.se, and we will send them to you.
