Promoter Sequences
Display Proteins
- mRFP Derivatives
- mRFP1 The original
- tdTomato [1]
- Brightest
- Best quantum Yield
- Double the molecular weight though
- mCherry [2]
- Longest wavelengths
- Highest photostability
- Fastest maturation
- Excellent pH resistance
- Quantum efficiency is slightly lower (0.22 versus 0.25 for mRFP1)
- Higher extinction coefficient (due to near-complete maturation)
- Tolerance of N-terminal fusions and photostability make mRFP1 obsolete
