Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy imaging of live cell protein localizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current advances in fluorescence microscopy, coupled with the development of new fluorescent probes, make fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) a powerful technique for studying molecular interactions inside living cells with improved spatial (angstrom) and temporal (nanosecond) resolution, distance range, and sensitivity and a broader range of biological applications.

Imaging protein-protein interactions in cell motility using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).
Protein-protein interactions and signal transduction pathways have traditionally been analysed using biochemical techniques or standard microscopy. Although invaluable in the delineation of protein hierarchy, these methods do not provide information on the true spatial and temporal nature of complex formation within the intact cell. Recent advances in microscopy have allowed the development of ...
متن کاملMonitoring Biosensor Activity in Living Cells with Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy
Live-cell microscopy is now routinely used to monitor the activities of the genetically encoded biosensor proteins that are designed to directly measure specific cell signaling events inside cells, tissues, or organisms. Most fluorescent biosensor proteins rely on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to report conformational changes in the protein that occur in response to signaling events,...
