Abstract excerpt
The membrane topology of the colicin E1 channel domain was studied by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The FRET involved a genetically encoded fluorescent amino acid (coumarin) as the donor and a selectively labeled cysteine residue tethered with DABMI (4-(dimethylamino)phenylazophenyl-4'-maleimide) as the FRET acceptor. The fluorescent coumarin residue was incorporated into the protein via an...
