Abstract

The 3D structure of the fluorescent protein DiB3-F53L, an orange-red fluorescent non-covalent complex of a genetically engineered variant of the bacterial protein lipocalin Blc with a synthetic GFP-like chromophore M739, was studied by the molecular dynamics (MD) computational method. The chromophore was shown to interact more strongly with the mutated DiB3-F53L protein than with the native DiB3 protein. Calculations revealed the amino acids surrounding the chromophore at the binding site that contribute most strongly to the chromophore-protein interaction energy. The DiB3-F53L protein complex with the M739 chromophore exhibits increased fluorescence brightness compared to the known parent biomarker DiB3, making it a promising marker for labeling biological objects in cell biology, as well as a starting point for the subsequent design of new, brighter biological markers.
