We report measurements of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for glucose sensing in an established concanavalin A-dextran affinity system using frequency-domain lifetime spectroscopy. A dextran (MW 2000000) labeled with a small fluorescent donor molecule, Alexa Fluor 568, was used to competitively bind to a sugar-binding protein, concanavalin A, labeled with acceptor molecule, Alexa Fluor 647, in the presence of glucose. The FRET-quenching kinetics of the donor were analyzed from frequency-domain measurements as a function of both glucose and acceptor-protein concentrations using a Forster-type decay kinetics model. The results show that the frequency-domain measurements and donor decay kinetics can quantitatively indicate changes in the competitive binding of 0.09 mu M dextran to labeled concanavalin A at a solution concentration of 10.67 mu M in the presence of glucose at concentrations ranging from 0 to 224 mg/dL.
