Abstract

More recently, another singlet oxygen photosensitizing protein, miniSOG, has been engineered from a phototropin photoreceptor (Shu et al. 2011). MiniSOG, which is a 15 kDa flavoprotein not structurally related to GFP, has much higher singlet oxygen photosensitization efficiency than GFP-like proteins and thus promises to revolutionize all applications related to genetically encoded singlet oxygen production.
