The photoreaction process of a large-Stokes-shift red fluorescence protein-LSSmCherry1

Gaoshang Li, Jiajia Meng, Xiaolu Bai, Siteng Zhao, Yongnan Hu, Jin Dai, Yin Song, Xubiao Peng, Qing Zhao

This study investigates the excited-state dynamics of LSSmCherry1, a large-Stokes-shift red fluorescent protein, revealing that excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) is the primary source of its large Stokes shift.
