Crystal Structure of Phototoxic Orange Fluorescent Proteins with a Tryptophan-Based Chromophore.

Phototoxic fluorescent proteins represent a sparse group of genetically encoded photosensitizers that could be used for precise light-induced inactivation of target proteins, DNA damage, and cell killing. Only two such GFP-based fluorescent proteins (FPs), KillerRed and its monomeric variant SuperNo...
