1.5K
TL;DR: This review gives a critical overview of the major classes of fluorophore materials that may act as donor, acceptor, or both in a FRET configuration and focuses on the benefits and limitations of these materials and their combinations, as well as the available methods of bioconjugation.

Abstract: The use of Forster or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) as a spectroscopic technique has been in practice for over 50 years. A search of ISI Web of Science with just the acronym "FRET" returns more than 2300 citations from various areas such as structural elucidation of biological molecules and their interactions, in vitro assays, in vivo monitoring in cellular research, nucleic acid analysis, signal transduction, light harvesting and metallic nanomaterials. The advent of new classes of fluorophores including nanocrystals, nanoparticles, polymers, and genetically encoded proteins, in conjunction with ever more sophisticated equipment, has been vital in this development. This review gives a critical overview of the major classes of fluorophore materials that may act as donor, acceptor, or both in a FRET configuration. We focus in particular on the benefits and limitations of these materials and their combinations, as well as the available methods of bioconjugation.

Enhanced catalytic activity under non-equilibrium conditions
TL;DR: It is shown that kinetic asymmetry also emerges at the macroscopic level by demonstrating that local energy delivery in the form of light to a hydrogel containing gold nanoparticles installs a non-equilibrium steady state and the overall catalytic performance of the system is enhanced under these non-Equilibrium conditions.

A Core–Shell Nanoparticle Approach to Photoreversible Fluorescence Modulation of a Hydrophobic Dye in Aqueous Media
TL;DR: The nanoparticles not only greatly enhance the fluorescence emission of the hydrophobic dye NBD in aqueous media, probably by accommodating the dye molecules in the interface between the Hydrophilic shells and the hydphobic cores, but also modulate thefluorescence of the dye through intraparticle energy transfer.
“AND” luminescent “reactive” molecular logic gates: a gateway to multi-analyte bioimaging and biosensing
Anthony Romieu,Anthony Romieu +1 more
TL;DR: This review outlines examples that illustrate a recent and highly innovative concept in the field of (bio)molecular sensing, namely the simultaneous multi-analyte detection using "reactive" luminescent probes that are able to produce an optical signal only in response to multiple ( bio)chemical inputs and through covalent chemical reactions with target (bIO)analytes.

Synthesis of NaYF4:Yb/Er/Gd up-conversion luminescent nanoparticles and luminescence resonance energy transfer-based protein detection
TL;DR: A luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) system was developed using NaYF₄:Yb/Er/Gd UCNPs as an energy donor and R-PE as anEnergy acceptor, and a detection limit of R- PE of 0.5 μg/ml was achieved by the LRET system with a relative standard deviation of 2.0%.
