Key Features of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer:
• Resonance condition must be met–relaxation energy of donor must approximate excitation energy of acceptor. Choose your FRET pairs wisely!
50 Å λem = 5210 Å!!! (521 nm)
• Non-radiative energy transfer—does not involve emission and reabsorption.
• Distance dependent as 1/r6, functional range between 10–100 Å. Close range!

Report Out
• What were the outcomes of your trials?• Did every excitation event result in FRET?• Did every excitation event result in a
fluorescence event?• How did group size effect the outcome?

Brainstorming
Using what you have learned about FRET, suggest a biological question that could be illuminated via a FRET experiment.

Summative Assessment (LOCS)• ________ Amino acid X and Y are thought to be ~1000 Å apart on a protein. FRET
could be a useful tool to measure this distance.
• _____The wavelength of light is directly proportional to its energy.
• _____ For FRET to occur, the absorption spectrum of the acceptor should overlap with the emission spectrum of the donor.
• _____ The Förster transfer of energy from a donor to an acceptor involves the emission and reabsorption of a photon.
• _____ Emission from the donor is indicative of FRET.

Summative Assessment (HOCS)Proteins A and B are membrane bound and labeled with Fluorescein and Rhodamine B, respectively. Your labmate intends to excite his cells at 555 nm and look for the Rhodamine B emission at 580 nm as evidence of the complexation of proteins A and B. Assess his experimental design and suggest solutions to any potential problems.
Your labmate cuts you off mid-sentence, realizing his error, and adjusts his instrument to observe the fluorescein emission at 521 nm. Is he on the right track?
