摘要：Despite the broad use of FRET techniques, available methods for analyzing protein-protein interaction are subject to high labor and lack of systematic analysis. We propose an open source software allowing the quantitative analysis of fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) while integrating the steady-state fluorescence intensity information for protein-protein interaction studies. Our developed open source software is dedicated to fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) data obtained from Becker & Hickl SPC-830. FLIM-FRET analyzer includes: a user-friendly interface enabling automated intensity-based segmentation into single cells, time-resolved fluorescence data fitting to lifetime value for each segmented objects, batch capability, and data representation with donor lifetime versus acceptor/donor intensity quantification as a measure of protein-protein interactions. The FLIM-FRET analyzer software is a flexible application for lifetime-based FRET analysis. The application, the C#. NET source code, and detailed documentation are freely available at the following URL: http://FLIM-analyzer.ip-korea.org .
