Imaging of fluorescence anisotropy during photoswitching provides a simple readout for protein self-association

Performing homo-FRET measurements in cells using a fluorescence microscope is challenging, especially when using high numerical aperture objective lenses. Here the authors present a method for improved homo-FRET measurements based on anisotropy changes in photoswitchable fluorescent proteins.
