Excerpts

An attempt to find Dronpa variants with slower off-switching rate has led to the identification of PDM1-4. Unfortunately, PDM1-4 was prone to form tetramers and did not show improvement in photon output. In addition, PDM1-4 has worsened photostability and less contrast between on and off-states.
