Sensing Based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer FRET

Sensing Based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) 

The donor and acceptor molecules can be covalently linked by a flexible or rigid spacer, conjugated to macromolecules, or simply mixed together. To illustrate some features of these approaches, it may be useful to display some simulated results.

Several methods are available today to test candidate ion channel active drugs (ICADs) electrophysiology (patch clamp), binding assays, radioactive flux assays, membrane potential-sensitive fluorescent dyes, ion-sensitive dyes, and voltage sensing based on fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET).
