Green Fluorescent Protein - Other Fluorescent Proteins

Other Fluorescent Proteins

Because of great variety of GFP derivatives, fluorescent proteins like dsRed, eqFP611, Dronpa, TagRFPs, KFP, EosFP, Dendra, IrisFP and many others are erroneously referred to as GFP derivatives. Some of these proteins display unique properties like red-shifted emission above 600 nm or photoconversion from a green-emitting state to a red-emitting state. These properties are so far unique to fluorescent proteins other than GFP derivatives.
