Fluorophores emit white light

Because intermolecular distances are small, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements must be precise to determine whether molecules interact. Using a fluorophore that simultaneously emits two colors and averaging those signals can reduce the error of the measurements. In living cells, new seminaphthofluorone (SNAFR) fluorophores emit white light composed of red, green and violet-blue bands that may enable FRET to be performed with three colors. Robert M. Strongin and colleagues at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge created the fluorophores and evaluated their...Read full article
