Article Title: Comparing the Performance of mScarlet-I, mRuby3, and mCherry as FRET Acceptors for mNeonGreen
doi: 10.1101/694190
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Cartoon schematic of the mNeonGreen-Red FP tandem constructs used for FRET experiments. (B) Average emission scan of cells expressing NG-Stop (black) when excited at 470 nm overlaid with the reported spectrum for purified mNeonGreen in green (n = 3 independent transfections). Example raw emission spectrum (pink) of tandem (C) NG-Ruby3, (D) NG-Scarlet, and (E) NG-Cherry when excited at 470 nm. The dashed black line shows the sum of donor (green) and acceptor (red) components calculated by linear unmixing. (F) FRET efficiencies calculated from the spectrum for each construct (n=3). *** = P < 0.0005 between the indicated conditions.
Article Snippet: NG-Ruby3 was created by removing mClover3 and all but the last 5 amino acids of the linker from pKanCMV-mClover3-mRuby3 by inverse PCR, and the full mNeonGreen coding sequence was inserted in its place using In-Fusion cloning (Takara Bio; Mountain View, CA).
