Many proteins can be split into fragments that spontaneously reassemble, without covalent
linkage, into a functional protein. For split green fluorescent proteins (GFPs), fragment …

This review focuses on the current view of the interaction between the β-barrel scaffold of
fluorescent proteins and their unique chromophore located in the internal helix. The …

To expand the range of experiments that are accessible with optogenetics, we developed a
photocleavable protein (PhoCl) that spontaneously dissociates into two fragments after …
