Abstract

Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) is a well-established technique for investigating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) pharmacology. BRET enables the monitoring of molecular proximity through the use of heterologously expressed proteins of interest and/or fluorophore-labeled ligands. Fusion to a donor luciferase enzyme or an acceptor fluorophore and subsequent detection of resonance energy transfer indicate the close proximity of the molecules of interest. As BRET is readily applied to the study of numerous GPCR signaling and regulatory paths, it is an ideal technique for investigating the pharmacology of biased ligands and receptors.
