A fluorobody is a manmade hybrid molecule that is composed of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and a fragment of antibody, which combines the affinity and specificity of an antibody with the visibility of a GFP. It is able to provide a real-time indication of binding while avoiding the use of tags and secondary binding reagents. Here, the expression, purification and crystal structure of a recombinant fluorobody for TLH (thermolabile haemolysin), a toxin from the lethal food-borne disease bacteriumVibrio parahaemolyticus, are presented. This is the first structure of a fluorobody to be reported. Crystals belonging to space groupP43212, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 63.35,c = 125.90 Å, were obtained by vapour diffusion in hanging drops and the structure was refined to anRfreeof 16.7% at 1.5 Å resolution. The structure shows a CDR loop of the antibody on the GFP scaffold.

Most of the conjugates exhibited aggregation-induced emission enhancement, probably involving a unusual type of excimer.

Synthetically modified green fluorescent protein chromophore derivative was prepared, its crystal structure and spectral properties were studied. Crystal data for C19H18N2O4: triclinic, space group P-1 (no. 2), a = 8.2506(17) Å, b = 11.934(2) Å, c = 17.461(4) Å, α = 102.89(3)°,   β = 94.62(3)°, γ = 96.68(3)°, V = 1654.5(6) Å3, Z = 4, T = 173(2) K, μ(MoKα) = 0.096 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.358 g/cm3, 7227 reflections measured (4.722° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 53.996°), 7227 unique (Rint = 0.0453, Rsigma = 0.0662) which were used in all calculations. The final R1 was 0.0561 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.1658 (all data). The single crystal structure showed, the benzylidine moiety adopts Z-conformation in solid state and the molecules were associated by various O−H···O and C−H···O non-covalent interactions. The UV absorption-emission spectral analysis indicated that a significant red shift of emission observed at alkaline pH indicating its utility for live cell imaging applications.
