Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is a method for measuring FRET by irradiating with laser light a measurement sample. FRET is transfer of energy from a first molecule to a second molecule. The first molecule and the second molecule are included in the measurement sample in which ligands are bound to receptors. The method includes the steps of: irradiating the measurement sample with laser light; measuring fluorescence emitted by the measurement sample; calculating a fluorescence lifetime of the first molecule; calculating a binding ratio; setting a binding condition for the measurement sample; and calculating a dissociation constant. In the dissociation constant calculating step, the dissociation constant is determined by using a least-squares method to fit a function having, as variables, a total concentration of the receptor in the measurement sample and the dissociation constant to the binding ratio calculated in the binding ratio calculating step.
