Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) Literature Sources

Section Overview:

Understanding the dynamic interactions between proteins within living cells is fundamental to a basic knowledge of the underlying concepts that guide molecular and cellular biology. Over the past few years, the rapid development of fluorescent proteins and their application as fusion products and biosensors has significantly expanded the molecular toolkit available for probing the mysteries of cellular physiology and pathology. In this regard, fluorescence (or Förster) resonance energy transfer (FRET) is emerging as a powerful optical microscopy technique for examining physiological processes with high temporal and spatial resolution. The references listed below highlight important literature sources for review articles and original research reports on the construction and applications of fluorescent proteins for resonance energy transfer experiments.
