“…Since FPs have a unique chromophore and a single tryptophan residue, Trp57, the fluorescence characteristics of which are sensitive to the structure of the protein, and nonradiative energy transfer from Trp to the chromophore in the neutral state exists in the native state of the protein, fluorescent methods have been used in practically all papers to monitor changes in the structure of the protein under different treatment conditions (Andrews et al, 2007; Enoki et al, 2006, 2004; Fukuda et al, 2000; Huang et al, 2008; Melnik et al, 2011a; Orte et al, 2008; Stepanenko et al, 2012b). In addition, to characterize the processes of unfolding-refolding, CD (Enoki et al, 2004; Huang et al, 2007), SAX (Enoki et al, 2006), single-molecule fluorescence (Orte et al, 2008), and single-molecule mechanical unfolding (Bornschlogl and Rief, 2011; Dietz et al, 2006; Dietz and Rief, 2004; Mickler et al, 2007) as well as theoretical approaches (Andrews et al, 2008; Reddy et al, 2012) were used.…”
