Table 2.

Contributions of acceptor or donor to each collection channel determined from control cells for experimental studies in Figs. 4 and 5, calibration studies in Fig. 3. (A low r2 value and zero slope indicates zero contributions of the fluorescent protein to that channel. Ratios established from plots with high r2 values represent fluorescent contributions to the channels relative to that of the fluorescent protein in its cognate channel.)
