nanoparticle-based FRET

Nanoparticle-based FRET, or Förster Resonance Energy Transfer, is a technique used to study interactions at the nanoscale. It involves two types of nanoparticles: a donor that emits light when excited and an acceptor that absorbs this light. When these particles are close together, energy from the donor is transferred to the acceptor, causing it to emit light of a different color. This process helps scientists visualize and measure molecular interactions, making it valuable in fields like biomedical research and molecular biology. The precision of nanoparticles enhances the sensitivity and resolution of these measurements.
