Simultaneous readout of multiple FRET pairs using photochromism

Performing multiple FRET measurements at once can be challenging. Here the authors report a method to discriminate between overlapping FRET pairs, even if the fluorophores display almost identical absorption and emission spectra, based on the photochromism of the donor fluorophores.
