Figure 3. Predicting the FRET efficiency of a construct with three acceptors.

Figure 3

A. Constructs used to study the effects of having three acceptors in a FRET complex. Blue “cans” depict the Cerulean donor, Yellow depicts Venus acceptors, and gray depicts Amber. B. Table showing the FRET efficiencies of VCAA, ACVA, ACAV and VCVV measured by E-FRET, as well as the measured acceptor to donor ratio (A/D) for each construct. C. Energy transfer rates and their propagated error were calculated from the measured Cerulean lifetime of ACA and the FRET efficiencies measured by E-FRET. The Sum column is the arithmetic sum of the VCAA, ACVA and ACAV transfer rates with propagated error, and by theory should equal the transfer rate measured for VCVV.
