Description

mApple is a monomeric red fluorescent protein with an excitation peak of 568nm and an emission peak of 592nm in vitro. It is an artificial derivative of the naturally occurring fluorescent protein encoded by the Discosoma drFP583 gene (GenBank:AF168419; AAF03369), derived by mutagenesis of mOrange (PMID:18454154).
