What this task asks for

Design a codon sequence for the prescribed five-part fusion protein with exact spectral choices, linker ordering, binding functions, and synthesis constraints. Order antibody binder, donor, DHFR, acceptor, then molecule binder. Use PDB proteins for molecule binder, donor, and acceptor and plasmid DHFR. Match donor emission 610nm and acceptor excitation 505nm from FPbase. Place 5–20 amino-acid GS linkers only between subproteins. Omit start, stop, and noninitial N-terminal methionines. Stay within 3,000 nt and 30–70% GC in every 50-nt window.
