ABSTRACT:
This invention provides functional engineered fluorescent proteins with varied fluorescence characteristics that can be easily distinguished from currently existing green and blue fluorescent proteins. In one embodiment the invention provides for the three dimensional structure and atomic coordinates of an Aequorea green fluorescent protein and methods for their use. In one embodiment, this invention provides a computational method of modeling the three dimensional structure of any other fluorescent protein based on the three dimensional structure of an Aequorea green fluorescent protein.
