Abstract |
Genetically encoded biosensors utilizing the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) are powerful tools for live cell imaging of various cellular processes. Our group has previously developed a series of FRET-based biosensors, named "ATeam," for visualization of ATP levels inside a single living cell. ATeam not only provides a window of insight into a single cell but also allows for visualization of ATP levels in mitochondrial matrix of a single living cell. This novel tool is able to monitor alterations in cellular ATP in response to various treatments in real time. Here we present a method for the evaluation of ATP levels in mitochondria in living cells by using ATeam. At the end of this chapter, an example of experimental results is described for a better understanding of the presented procedure. |
