Biliverdin and its dimethyl ester derivatives are bile pigments with very low fluorescence quantum yield in solution, but naturally serve as chromophores in far-red fluorescent proteins with three orders of magnitude enhanced fluorescence quantum efficiency.

The manuscript reports on two mutations of the photo-sensory protein Anabaena Sensory Rhodopsin and how these mutations modify the fluorescence quantum yield with respect to the wild-type protein. Experimental results are presented and explained theoretically on the basis of mixing of the S1 and S2 excited states. This mixing modulated by electrostatic and steric effects, tunes the excited state potential energy surface, and thereby the excited state lifetime and the fluorescence quantum yield.<br>

Abstract Absorption spectra in liquid solution, fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra, phosphores-cence quantum yields, phosphorescence to fluorescence quantum yield ratios, and phosphorescence decay times of 9 chloro substituted biphenyls dissolved in low temperature EPA glass were in-vestigated. The emission spectra of sterically unhindered systems are structured and significantly Stokes-shifted. Ortho substitution shifts the conjugation band in absorption as well as the un-structured fluorescence and phosphorescence bands to shorter wave lengths presumably by pre-venting the system from attaining a planar excited state. Chloro substitution which increases the rate constant of phosphorescence in the order meta < para < ortho, is nearly additive for multiple substituted systems and is correlated to the MO coefficients at the chloro substituted position in the absence of steric hindrance
