Abstract
We developed a singlewavelength excitationbased quantitative EFRET measurement method (SDWEFRET). This method only needs to collect fluorescence intensities of donor channel (IDD) and FRET channel (IDA) under donor excitation, and can realize rapid FRET imaging in living cells. Combining the dualchannel fluorescence microscopic imaging system, SDWEFRET method does not need any mechanical switch, and the speed of quantitative SDWEFRET imaging only depends on the speed of CCD camera. Therefore, SDWEFRET is applicable to mapping the dynamics of intracellular process in live cells in real time. We performed quantitative SDWEFRET measurement on our dualchannel fluorescence microscope to measure the FRET efficiency of C5V and C17V in living cells, and obtained consistent results with those measured by other methods.
