METHOD FOR IMPROVING DETECTION OF FLUORESCENCE SIGNALS DURING FLUORESCENCE RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER

摘要

The invention concerns the use of the fluorescence polarization phenomenon to improve detection of fluorescent signals during a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In particular, the invention concerns a method for improving signal/noise ratio in a FRET measurement. The invention also concerns an apparatus for measuring fluorescence following an energy transfer between a donor fluorescent compound and an acceptor fluorescence compound in a measurement medium.
