Resonance energy transfer (RET)-based measurement approaches are very useful for innovative studies such as that of protein-protein interactions in living cells with spatial and/or temporal resolution [1]. RET involves non-radiative (dipole-dipole) energy transfer between a donor and an acceptor that are in close proximity (normally< 10 nm). RET that occurs between two fluorophores is known as fluorescence RET (FRET), whereas RET that occurs between a light-emitting donor enzyme (eg luciferase) and a fluorophore is known as bioluminescence RET (BRET). Numerous publications have been seen on FRET being used in various areas such as structural elucidation of biological macromolecules, their interactions, in vitro assays, in vivo monitoring, and signal transduction in living cells [2, 3]. BRET is also well documented as a technique useful for these studies [4, 5]. Major disadvantages of BRET include the requirement of at least one carefully designed protein fusion and the low emission intensity that compromises the spatial and/or temporal resolutions in BRET measurements. Chemiluminescence RET (CRET) involves nonradiative transfer of energy from a chemiluminescent (CL) donor (instead of a bioluminescent enzyme donor as in BRET) to a fluorophore acceptor [6]. CRET occurs by the oxidation of a CL compound that then excites the fluorescent acceptor. Since no external light source is used for excitation in CRET approaches, nonspecific signals caused by external light excitation as often observed in FRET measurements can be minimized. Compared with BRET, a CRET-based approach involves no protein fusion. Both the CL donor and fluorescent acceptor can be conjugated to antibodies, promising a widespread application. However, little study has been so far reported on CRET [6-8]. A major difficulty is to identify an effective CL donor or reaction that can excite a fluorescent acceptor by energy transfer. In all of the previous CRET works reported, the luminol-H2O2 CL reaction catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used. Unfortunately, involving an exogenous enzyme (ie HRP) limits the applicability of the CRET system. In many cases, it complicates the assay by, for example, disturbing the biological interactions under study.
