This Article contains errors in the Results section under the subheading ‘Development of a pH-stable GFP variant for use as biomarker’,

“To create a monomeric GFP variant, we created a construct comprised of two sfGFP-N149Y/Q204H separated by a flexible 25 amino acid linker, termed pH-stable tandem dimer GFP (pH-tdGFP).”

Additionally, in the Materials and Methods section under the subheading ‘Purification of GFP variants’,

“pH-tdGFP is a tandem fusion of two yeast codon optimized sfGFP-N149Y/Q204H separated by the amino acid linker ITLGGTGSGSGDEVDGMVSKGEEVIK.”
