How FRET Works: A Guide to Visualizing Protein Interactions

#78 — Want to visualize if your proteins interact in live cells? FRET is the answer. In this Mentors at Your Benchside episode, we explain how FRET works, why it's great for studying protein–protein interactions, and why it is not actually named Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer.

Visit the original article to see helpful diagrams, [1] brush up on how fluorescent molecules work, [2] and read up on how to measure FRET for the different methods and practical tips for choosing FRET pairs. [3]
