Abstract
We describe theory, experiments, and analyses of three-color Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopy for probing sub-millisecond conformational dynamics of protein folding and binding of disordered proteins. We devise a scheme that uses single continuous-wave laser excitation of the donor instead of alternating excitation of the donor and one of the acceptors. This scheme alleviates photophysical problems of acceptors such as rapid photobleaching, which is crucial for high time resolution experiments with elevated illumination intensity. Our method exploits the molecular species with one of the acceptors absent or photobleached, from which two-color FRET data is collected in the same experiment. We show that three FRET efficiencies and kinetic parameters can be determined without alternating excitation from a global maximum likelihood analysis of two-color and three-color photon trajectories. We implement co-parallelization of CPU-GPU processing, which leads to a significant reduction of the likelihood calculation time for efficient parameter determination.
