What Does BRET Stand For?
BRET stands for Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer
BRET, or Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer, is a biochemical technique used to study molecular interactions in living cells. It involves the transfer of energy between a bioluminescent donor molecule and a nearby fluorescent acceptor molecule. This process allows researchers to monitor the dynamics of protein-protein interactions and cellular signaling pathways in real-time, providing valuable insights into biological mechanisms and drug development. BRET is advantageous due to its high sensitivity, minimal background noise, and ability to function in physiological conditions.
