Abstract: | We report measurements of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for glucose sensing in an established concanavalin A–dextran affinity system using frequency‐domain lifetime spectroscopy. A dextran (MW 2000000) labeled with a small fluorescent donor molecule, Alexa Fluor 568, was used to competitively bind to a sugar‐binding protein, concanavalin A, labeled with acceptor molecule, Alexa Fluor 647, in the presence of glucose. The FRET‐quenching kinetics of the donor were analyzed from frequency‐domain measurements as a function of both glucose and acceptor‐protein concentrations using a Förster‐type decay kinetics model. The results show that the frequency‐domain measurements and donor decay kinetics can quantitatively indicate changes in the competitive binding of 0.09 μM dextran to labeled concanavalin A at a solution concentration of 10.67 μM in the presence of glucose at concentrations ranging from 0 to 224 mg/dL. |
