Using nanoBRET and CRISPR/Cas9 to monitor proximity to a genome-edited protein in real-time

Abstract Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) has been a vital tool for understanding G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) function. It has been used to investigate GPCR-protein and/or -ligand interactions as well as GPCR oligomerisation. However the utility of BRET is limited by the requir...
