Popis: International audience; RsEGFP2 is a reversibly photoswitchable fluorescent protein used in super-resolved optical microscopies, which can be toggled between a fluorescent On state and a nonfluorescent Off state. Previous time-resolved ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic studies have shown that the Off-to-On photoactivation extends over the femto- to millisecond time scale and involves two picosecond lifetime excited states and four ground state intermediates, reflecting a trans-to-cis excited state isomerization, a millisecond deprotonation, and protein structural reorganizations. Femto- to millisecond time-resolved multiple-probe infrared spectroscopy (TRMPS-IR) can reveal structural aspects of intermediate species. Here we apply TRMPS-IR to rsEGFP2 and implement a Savitzky-Golay derivative analysis to correct for baseline drift. The results reveal that a subpicosecond twisted excited state precursor controls the trans-to-cis isomerization and the chromophore reaches its final position in the protein pocket within 100 ps. A new step with a time constant of 42 ns is reported and assigned to structural relaxation of the protein that occurs prior to the deprotonation of the chromophore on the millisecond time scale.
