Method Random mutagenesis and gene construction: Random mutations were introduced in the gene for circularly permuted YFP (H148D/ V163A/S175G/Y203F)(Nagai et al. 2001 PMID 11248055) using the error-prone PCR method (Cadwell et al. 1994, PMID 7920233). Fluorescence of the bacterial colonies grown at 37°C on a plate was analyzed using researchers' homemade fluorescence image-analyzing system (Sawano et al. 2000, PMID 10931937).
