A red-green photochromic bacterial protein as a new contrast agent for improved photoacoustic imaging

The GAF3 domain of the cyanobacteriochrome Slr1393 from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, binding phycocyanobilin as a chromophore, shows photochromicity between two stable, green- and red-absorbing states, characterized by relatively high photoconversion yields. Using nanosecond-pulsed excitation by red o...
