Design Notes
We engineered E. coli to produce a unique protein composed of two fluorophores - mRuby3 and cometGFP - joined by linkers each to the hinge of a glucose binding protein. This construct would undergo a conformational change upon binding to glucose such that the cometGFP portion in an excited state would transfer energy to the acceptor mRuby3 to be emitted. Quantifying this excitation/emission pair would reveal the extent to which FRET and thus glucose binding that had occurred.
