Abstract
Flavin-based fluorescent proteins (FbFPs), a class of small fluorescent proteins derived from light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) domains, bind ubiquitous endogenous flavins as chromophores. Due to their unique properties, they can be used as versatile in vivo reporter proteins under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This chapter presents methodologies for in-depth characterization of the biochemical, spectroscopic, photophysical, and photochemical properties of FbFPs.

Abstract
Flavin-based fluorescent proteins (FbFPs) are small fluorescent proteins derived from light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) domains. The proteins bind ubiquitous endogenous flavins as chromophores and can be used as versatile in vivo reporter proteins under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This chapter presents the methodology to identify LOV domain sequences in genomic databases; design new FbFPs; characterize their biochemical, spectroscopic, photophysical, and photochemical properties; and conduct basic fluorescence microscopy experiments.
