  1. aSpectral color class. bExcitation maximum. cEmission maximum. dBrightness in budding yeast normalized to either mCherry (for CFPs and GFPs) or mTq2 (for YFPs and RFPs). eFluorescent fraction remaining at the last timeframe, normalized to the first frame. fT-half times in seconds obtained via a one-phase or two-phase exponential decay fit. gCoefficient of variation (CV) of the mean brightness of 3 days as an indication of day-to-day variation. hFluorescence lifetime in nanoseconds determined by frequency domain. iMonomerism depicted by the mean amount of OSER structures per cell. jpH value giving 50% decrease in fluorescence. kHill coefficient of the pH stability. Abbreviations: SD; standard deviation, n.d.; not determined.
