Abstract
FRET microscopy enables the detection of different biochemical states of proteins in cells. The use of fluorescence in the detection of proteins, by chemical modification, by immunofluorescence, or by genetic encoding of a green fluorescent protein fusion protein, provides more information than just the location of the protein in the cell. The properties of the fluorophore can be exploited to extract information on protein?protein interactions. A straightforward, quantitative imaging approach is presented to measure FRET that is based on internal calibration by acceptor photobleaching.

Figure 17.1.1 (A ) Cy3‐PY72 photobleaching releases FRET‐quenched EGFR‐GFP emission. The histogram shows the distribution of calculated FRET efficiencies in the cell. (B ) FRET measured by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. The histogram shows the distribution of measured lifetime (nsec) and corresponding calculated FRET efficiencies prior and after photobleaching of the acceptor. View Image
