  • Modified fluorescent protein
    Patent number: 9176063
    Abstract: Provided is a modified fluorescent protein which enables the detection of a power applied to a liquid where the fluorescent protein exists. A modified fluorescent protein, wherein a peptide linker is inserted into a position homologous to the position between the 144th and 145th amino acids in the amino acid sequence of a wild type fluorescent protein from jellyfish or a fluorescent protein derived from said wild type fluorescent protein, characterized in that the fluorescence properties of said modified fluorescent protein change depending on a change in a pressure that is applied to a liquid where said modified fluorescent protein exists.
    Type: Grant
