FPbase Get Protein

Overview

Get detailed data for a fluorescent protein from FPbase by its slug/short name. Returns the protein sequence, spectral properties (excitation max, emission max, extinction coefficient, quantum yield, brightness, pKa, maturation time), PDB and UniProt IDs, aggregation state, and relevant publications. FPbase is the comprehensive reference database for fluorescent proteins used in biological imaging. Examples: 'egfp' (Ex 488/Em 507, brightness 33.5), 'mcherry' (Ex 587/Em 610), 'tdtomato' (Ex 554/Em 581), 'itagbfp2' (blue), 'mirgfp' (infrared).
