What are FRET-based pH sensors?

Posted May 15, 2024


Answer

FRET-based pH sensors are biosensors that utilize FRET to measure changes in pH levels. These sensors typically consist of a donor fluorophore and an acceptor fluorophore, with the efficiency of energy transfer between them being dependent on the surrounding pH environment.
