The photophysical properties of fluorescent proteins, including phototransformable variants used in advanced microscopy applications, are influenced by the environmental conditions in which they are expressed and used. Rational design of improved fluorescent protein markers requires a better understanding of these environmental effects. We demonstrate here that solution NMR spectroscopy can detect subtle changes in the chemical structure, conformation, and dynamics of the photoactive chromophore...

[NMR paper] Mechanistic Insights into Nanoparticle Surface Adsorption by Solution NMR Spectroscopy in an Aqueous Gel
Mechanistic Insights into Nanoparticle Surface Adsorption by Solution NMR Spectroscopy in an Aqueous Gel
Engineering nanoparticle (NP) functions at molecular level requires a detailed understanding of the dynamic processes occurring at the NP surface. Here we show that the combined analysis of Dark state Exchange Saturation Transfer (DEST) and Relaxation Dispersion (RD) NMR experiments acquired on gel-stabilized samples of NP allows for accurate determination of the kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption. We used the former approach to describe the interaction of cholic acid (CA) and...

[NMR paper] A general mechanism of photoconversion of green-to-red fluorescent proteins based on blue and infrared light reduces phototoxicity in live-cell single-molecule imaging
A general mechanism of photoconversion of green-to-red fluorescent proteins based on blue and infrared light reduces phototoxicity in live-cell single-molecule imaging
Photoconversion of fluorescent proteins by blue and complementary near-infrared light, termed primed conversion (PC), is a mechanism recently discovered for Dendra2. We demonstrate that controlling the conformation of arginine at residue 66 by threonine at residue 69 of fluorescent proteins from Anthozoan families (Dendra2, mMaple, Eos, mKikGR, pcDronpa protein families) represents a general route to facilitate PC....
