Green fluorescent proteins are light-induced electron donors

Proteins of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family are well known due to their unique biochemistry and extensive use as in vivo markers. Here, we discovered a new feature of GFPs of diverse origins to act as the light-induced electron donors in photochemical reactions with various electron accep...

description Proteins of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family are well known due to their unique biochemistry and extensive use as in vivo markers. Here, we discovered a new feature of GFPs of diverse origins to act as the light-induced electron donors in photochemical reactions with various electron acceptors, including biologically relevant ones. Moreover, this process accompanying with green-to-red GFP photoconversion can be observed in living cells without additional treatment.
