“…Free-zone electrophoresis which was introduced first to investigate the charge density (6) is an alternative method (7); however, this technique entails a long procedure and is limited to the observation of the homogeneity of charged components. The use of fluorescent probes can be applied to evaluate several kinds of homogeneity (8). However, it is suspect whether the probes themselves are distributed homogeneously in some cases, and this method cannot be adopted for quality control because there are few cases in which guest molecules in the products can be treated as fluorescent probes.…”

“…The use of charged but neutral probes (having both electron donor and acceptor groups; e.g., prodan) or uncharged probes (e.g., DPH; Davenport, 1997) may circumvent this problem. However, the nonpolar nature of DPH restricts its solubility in aqueous systems and thus limits its use as a probe for protein solutions.…”

“…The idea of tryptophan imaging of membrane proteins has been proposed and analyzed by Kleinfeld [67]: tryptophans in membrane proteins serve as donors and anthroyloxy fluorophores serve as acceptors with the anthroyloxy group attached to lipids at various distances from the midplane of the membrane. Fluorescence studies of membrane heterogeneity has been reviewed by Davenport [76]. Other interesting membrane FRET studies are mentioned in Refs [70][71][72][73][74][75].…”

FRET – Förster Resonance Energy Transfer

Theory without experiment is like the sound of one hand clapping. F€ orster theory is not like that at all. It is a thundering ovation linking theory and experiment by explaining the relationship between spectral overlap, energy transfer, and proximity. This chapter explains F€ orster's contributions to the theory of resonance energy transfer. The readers of this chapter form, no doubt, a highly diverse group of people. Most readers are probably only interested in the bottom line. Others may want to know details. But which details? There are so many. To help students and specialists find what they need, the chapter is presented as a sequence of a large number of sections that are short and focused. Pre-F€ orsterThis section is based on some of the information in the most popular papers by F€ orster [1][2][3][4][5], Chapter 5 of Ref. [6], and Clegg's history of FRET [7]. The emphasis here is on the contributions of F€ orster's predecessors and contemporaries. If you want to know who the scientists were who inspired F€ orster and what the science was that motivated him, you should read his most important papers. His most important, that is, his most cited papers are his papers published in 1946 [1] 1948 [2], and 1949 [4] and reviews published in 1959 [3] and 1965 [5]. F€ orster's papers are not easy to understand. The language is not a problem because four of the five are in English or translated into English. They are difficult because they use a lot of math and complicated spectroscopic concepts. Nevertheless, if you are serious about FRET, you should study them. Start with his 1946 paper [1] and the 1959 review [3]. These papers are much more readable than F€ orster's most cited paper [2], because his 1946 paper presents a very clear verbal description of the essential ideas on which the theory is based and a thorough review of the experimental evidence of the importance of resonance and his 1959 paper is designed to provide a conceptual understanding of the FRET -Förster Resonance Energy Transfer: From Theory to Applications, First Edition. Edited by Igor Medintz and Niko Hildebrandt.
