Abstract

The effect of pH on the spectral and redox properties of model GFP synthetic chromophores (Cros) in a universal buffer system was investigated. The Cro hydroxy-derivatives demonstrated a Nernst-type electrochemical dependence of the anodic potential within the pH 2–8 range. Analogous studies on various fluorescent proteins were unsuccessful.
