The applications of multiscale quantum–classical (QM–MM) approaches have shown an
extraordinary expansion and diversification in the last couple of decades. A great proportion …

A brief personal perspective is provided for green fluorescent protein (GFP), covering the
period 1994–2011. The topics discussed are primarily those in which my research group …

1. INTRODUCTION The discovery of Anthozoa homologues of the green fluorescent protein
(GFP) from jellyfish Aequorea victoria, which emit not only green but also yellow, orange …

In the last decade, a number of red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) that emit orange, red, and far-
red fluorescence have been isolated from anthozoans (corals), and developed through …

Through a combination of ion-mobility filtering and laser-equipped quadrupole ion–trap
mass spectrometry, the gas-phase reaction kinetics of two protonation isomers of the …

Genetically encoded probes with red-shifted absorption and fluorescence are highly
desirable for imaging applications because they can report from deeper tissue layers with …

We present a detailed study of the protein environmental effects on the one-and two-photon
absorption (1PA and 2PA, respectively) properties of the S 0-S 1 transition in the DsRed …

Quantum-mechanical and classical embedding schemes both employ effective operators
that incorporate the environmental effects for local properties. Despite their common goal …

For many decades, simulating the excited state properties of complex systems has been an
intriguing but daunting task due to its high computational cost. Here, we apply molecular …

Fluorescent proteins (FPs), featuring the same chromophore but different chromophore–
protein interactions, display remarkable spectral variations even when the same …
