Two long-wavelength flourescent proteins isolated from the strawberry anemone, Corynactis californica are provided. These proteins are homologous to known fluorescent proteins, but their unique properties, including yellow or red color of emission, can find use in replacing and supplementing known fluorescent proteins. In addition because of their longer wavelength absorption and emission spectra, they can be used in energy transfer applications with the known shorter wavelenght fluorescent proteins and non-proteinaceous fluorescers. |
