Fig. 3From: Plasmonic photocatalyst-like fluorescent proteins for generating reactive oxygen speciesa 3D structure of GFP (PDB ID: 1GFL) obtained from X-ray crystallography and its mutant Ser65Thr (PDB ID: 1EMA). GFP has a β-barrel structure with the chromophore embedded in its core (Reproduced from [79] with the permission of Royal Society of Chemistry). The chromophore is shown in its neutral form with protonated phenolic oxygen. b Normalized time-resolved phosphorescent intensity. Emission signals of 1O2 generated from EGFP irradiated at λex = 532 nm in deuterated phosphate-buffered saline (d-PBS) (1:3) were detected at λ = 1275 nm (Reproduced from [63] with the permission of Elsevier)Back to article page
