GFP-like proteins, originally cloned from marine animals, are genetically encoded fluorescence markers that have become indispensable tools for the life sciences. The search for GFP-like proteins with novel and improved properties is ongoing, driven by the persistent need for advanced and specialized fluorescence labels for cellular imaging. The 3D structures of these proteins are overall similar. However, considerable variations have been found in the covalent structures and the stereochemis
