The fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) from a donor to an acceptor via transition dipole–dipole interactions decreases the donor's fluorescent lifetime. The donor's fluorescent lifetime decreases as the FRET efficiency increases, following the equation: E_FRET = 1 – τ_DA/τ_D, where τ_D and τ_DA are the donor fluorescence lifetime without FRET and with FRET. Accordingly, the FRET time trajectories associated with single-molecule conformational dynamics can be recorded by measuring the donor's lifetime fluctuations. In this article, we report our work on the use of a Cy3/Cy5-labeled enzyme, HPPK to demonstrate probing single-molecule conformational dynamics in an enzymatic reaction by measuring single-molecule FRET donor lifetime time trajectories. Compared with single-molecule fluorescence intensity-based FRET measurements, single-molecule lifetime-based FRET measurements are independent of fluorescence intensity. The latter has an advantage in terms of eliminating the analysis background noise from the acceptor fluorescence detection leak through noise, excitation light intensity noise, or light scattering noise due to local environmental factors, for example, in a AFM-tip correlated single-molecule FRET measurements. Furthermore, lifetime-based FRET also supports simultaneous single-molecule fluorescence anisotropy.
