Role of Hydrogen Bonding in Green Fluorescent Protein-like Chromophore Emission

Abstract The fluorescence emission from green fluorescent protein (GFP) is known to be heavily influenced by hydrogen bonding between the core fluorophore and the surrounding side chains or water molecules. Yet how to utilize this feature for modulating the fluorescence of GFP chromophore or GFP-lik...
