New Publications in Nature Methods by Scintillon's Jiwu Wang and Nathan Shaner

Posted by Scintillon Institute on March 24, 2013

The "A Bright Monomericgreen Fluorescentprotein Derived From Branchiostoma Lanceolatumpublication" was published in Nature Methods (10, 407-209, 2013)

We report a monomeric yellow-green fluorescent protein, mNeonGreen, derived from a tetrameric fluorescent protein from the cephalochordate Branchiostoma lanceolatum.

mNeonGreen is the brightest monomeric green or yellow fluorescent protein yet described to our knowledge, performsexceptionally well as a fusion tag for traditional imaging as well as stochastic single-molecule superresolution imaging and is an excellent fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor for the newest cyan fluorescent proteins.
