Excerpts

We were surprised to discover a second green-emitting FP in A. cf. australis, AausFP1, that shares only 53% amino acid identity with avGFP (see Fig. 4). AausFP1 is the brightest FP discovered to date, with a nearly perfect quantum yield (0.97) and a peak extinction coefficient of 170,000 M−1cm−1, making it nearly fivefold brighter than EGFP on a per-molecule basis. These already extraordinary properties are further bolstered by a low fluorescence pKa (4.4) and unusually narrow excitation and emission peaks (see Fig. 3; the emission peak of AausFP1 has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 19nm, compared to 32nm for EGFP).
