Spectrally-Resolved Response Properties of the Three Most Advanced FRET Based Fluorescent Protein Voltage Probes
Genetically-encoded optical probes for membrane potential hold the promise of monitoring electrical signaling of electrically active cells such as specific neuronal populations in intact brain tissue. The most advanced class of these probes was generated by molecular fusion of the voltage sensing domain (VSD) of Ci-VSP with a fluorescent protein (FP) pair. We quantitatively compared the three m...
متن کاملSpectrally resolved fluorescent lifetime imaging
Placing an imaging spectrograph or related components capable of generating a spectrum between a microscope and the image intensifier of a conventional fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) system creates a spectrally resolved FLIM (SFLIM). This arrangement provides a number of opportunities not readily available to conventional systems using bandpass filters. The examples include: simultaneous ...
متن کاملQuantum dot-fluorescent protein FRET probes for sensing intracellular pH.
Intracellular pH (pH(i)) plays a critical role in the physiological and pathophysiological processes of cells, and fluorescence imaging using pH-sensitive indicators provides a powerful tool to assess the pH(i) of intact cells and subcellular compartments. Here we describe a nanoparticle-based ratiometric pH sensor, comprising a bright and photostable semiconductor quantum dot (QD) and pH-sensi...
متن کاملA FRET-based analysis of SNPs without fluorescent probes.
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a simple procedure for detecting specific DNA sequences, and is therefore used in many fields. However, the cost is relatively high, because FRET-based methods usually require fluorescent probes. We have designed a cost-effective way of using FRET, and developed a novel approach for the genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and all...
متن کاملDeveloping Fast Fluorescent Protein Voltage Sensors by Optimizing FRET Interactions
FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer)-based protein voltage sensors can be useful for monitoring neuronal activity in vivo because the ratio of signals between the donor and acceptor pair reduces common sources of noise such as heart beat artifacts. We improved the performance of FRET based genetically encoded Fluorescent Protein (FP) voltage sensors by optimizing the location of donor and a...
