mBanana (rights owned by Clontech)

mBanana fluorescent protein - Rights owned by Clontech. Sequence is commercially available from Clontech. Sequence obtained through PCR amplification, with BioBrick prefix and suffix added through specially designed primers.

N.B. This part has not been submitted to the registry, as the rights to mBanana are commercially owned by Clontech. Academic researchers are welcome to use this part, subject to a material transfer agreement from the supplying university, providing that the DNA will not be used for commercial profit or gain. The sequence provided on this registry page has been provided with express permission from Clontech.


Usage and Biology

A DsRed fluorescent protein derivative that can be used as a fluorescent reporter for biological applications. mBanana has a relatively short maturation time at 37C (1 hour), however only has 7% brightness of fully mature DsRed.
