Description
Description

mKO is a monomeric orange fluorescent protein with an excitation peak of 548nm and an emission peak of 559nm in vitro. It was obtained by mutagenesis of Kusabira-Orange to include mutations that result in a monomeric protein, and which increase its folding efficiency and solubility (PMID:15065984).
