Abstract
mNeonGreen, an engineered green fluorescent protein (GFP) derived from lancelet, is one of the most brightly fluorescent homologs of Aequorea victoria jellyfish GFP (avGFP) yet reported. In this work, we investigated whether this bright fluorescence might be retained in homologs of mNeonGreen with modified chromophore structures and altered fluorescent hues. We found mNeonGreen to be generally less tolerant than avGFP to chromophore modification by substitution of the key chromophore-forming tyrosine residue with other aromatic amino acids. However, we were ultimately successful in creating a variant, designated as NeonCyan1, with a tryptophan-derived cyan fluorescent protein (CFP)-type chromophore, and two additional mutants with distinct spectral hues. Structural, computational, and photophysical characterization of NeonCyan1 and its variants provided insight into the factors that control the fluorescence emission color. Though not recommended as replacements for contemporary CFP variants, we demonstrate that NeonCyan1 variants are potentially suitable for live cell imaging applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
