Part:BBa_K592012

eforRed, red chromoprotein

This chromoprotein eforRed naturally exhibits red/pink color when expressed. The color is slightly weaker than RFP. On agar plates and in liquid culture, the color is readily visible to naked eye in less than 24 hours of incubation. The DNA was codon-optimized for expression in E.coli and synthesized by the Korean company Bioneer Corporation.

Important: This part is not available in the registry yet, however, the same part is available from the registry with the RBS B0032: BBa_K1073023.
