Backbone

• Vector backbone: pECFP-C1
• Backbone manufacturer: Clontech
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4700
• Total vector size (bp): 5063
• Modifications to backbone: This vector was created by mutagenesis of pECFP-C1. Compared to ECFP, Cerulean contains mutations: S72A, Y145A and H148D. mCerulean also contains A206K mutation to create a monomeric form of the fluorescent protein. See more details in Addgene's plasmid 27796.
