Excerpts

With a completely deprotonated chromophore at neutral pH (pKa = 6.1), Clover should be incapable of photoconversion despite the presence of His203, which enhances photoconversion in PA-GFP. Indeed, we observed no photoactivation of Clover in illumination conditions that produced more than threefold photoactivation of PA-GFP.
