FLIM-FRET analyzer: open source software for automation of lifetime-based FRET analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the broad use of FRET techniques, available methods for analyzing protein-protein interaction are subject to high labor and lack of systematic analysis. We propose an open source software allowing the quantitative analysis of fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) while integrating the steady-state fluorescence intensity information for protein-protein interaction studies.

Findings

Our developed open source software is dedicated to fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) data obtained from Becker & Hickl SPC-830. FLIM-FRET analyzer includes: a user-friendly interface enabling automated intensity-based segmentation into single cells, time-resolved fluorescence data fitting to lifetime value for each segmented objects, batch capability, and data repres
