Simultaneous linear unmixing of excitation-emission spectra (ExEm-unmixing)-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) two-hybrid assay method, named as ExEm-FRET two-hybrid assay, was developed for evaluating the stoichiometric ratio of macromolecular complexes in living cells. Linear unmixing of the excitation-emission spectra (SDA) of cells obtains the weight factors of donor (WD), acceptor (WA) and acceptor sensitization (WS), yielding ED and EA (donor- and acceptor-centric FRET efficiency) images. ExEm-FRET two-hybrid assay employs pixel-to-pixel titration curves of ED/EA versus the free acceptor (Ca)/donor (Cd) concentration deduced from the three weight factors to obtain EA,max and ED,max (the maximal EA and ED), thus yielding the stoichiometric ratio (EA,max/ED,max) of donor-tagged protein to acceptor-tagged protein.
