FPbase Search By Spectrum

Overview

Search FPbase for fluorescent proteins with specific spectral properties. Filter by excitation wavelength range, emission wavelength range, or name. Essential for selecting appropriate fluorescent proteins for multiplexed imaging, FRET experiments, or specific microscopy setups. FPbase contains over 1000 fluorescent proteins. Common wavelength ranges: UV/violet ~350-420nm, blue ~430-480nm, cyan ~480-500nm, green ~490-530nm, yellow ~520-570nm, orange ~550-590nm, red ~590-640nm, far-red ~640-680nm, near-infrared ~680-800nm.
