DOI: 10.1021/acssensors.9b00569
Abstract: We describe a molecular sensor that reports, using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), on the degree of macromolecular crowding in different cellular compartments. The oligonucleotide-based sensor is sensitive to changes in the volume fraction of… read more here.
