Donor-quenching of Dronpa in the presence of mCherry. The comparison of emission spectra of Dronpa and the fusion protein Dronpa-mCherry revealed the quenching of Dronpa in the presence of mCherry (A). In the emission spectrum of Dronpa-mCherry the emission of mCherry is less pronounced due to the low quantum yield of mCherry. The same effect can be observed by the emission of eluted fluorescent proteins (B): whereas mCherry showed red fluorescence, the emission of the fusion protein is dominated by the yellowish Dronpa fluorescence.
