Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between fluorescence proteins has been implemented for a number of biosensors in which the donor and acceptor are linked in a single sensor. For example, ...
Using engineered nanocomposite structures called metamaterials, a research team reports the ability to measure a significant increase in the energy transfer between molecules. This breakthrough breaks ...
FRET is based on the dipole-dipole coupling mechanism, where the energy transfer occurs through non-radiative means. It is highly efficient over short distances and sensitive to the separation between ...
Individual cells modified to act as sensors using fluorescence are already useful tools in biochemistry, but now they can add good timing to their resumé, thanks in part to expertise from the National ...
The formation of supramolecular structures (dimers or oligomers) is emerging as an important aspect of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) biology. In some cases, GPCR oligomerization is a prerequisite ...
(Nanowerk News) Using engineered nanocomposite structures called metamaterials, a City College of New York-led research team reports the ability to measure a significant increase in the energy ...
