For example, in skin vitamin D is produced from UV-B-induced photoconversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC; provitamin D).

However, the fluorescence from PS-CFP is approximately 2. 5-fold dimmer than PA-GFP and is inferior to other highlighters in terms of photoconversion efficiency (the 40-nanometer shift in fluorescence emission upon photoconversion is less than observed with similar probes).

A photoswitchable optical highlighter, termed PS-CFP, derived by mutagenesis of a green fluorescent protein variant, has been observed to transition from cyan to green fluorescence upon illumination at 405 nanometers (note photoconversion of the central cell in Figures 6 (b) and 6 (e)).

As an example, a single point mutation to the native jellyfish peptide creates a photoactivatable version of green fluorescent protein (known as PA-GFP) that enables photoconversion of the excitation peak from ultraviolet to blue by illumination with light in the 400-nanometer range.

We identify key interactions that stabilize the chromophore in the Pfr state and provide structural and mutational evidence to support the essential role of the PHY domain in efficient Pr / Pfr photoconversion.
