fret_correct_one_dataset: Correct FRET signal for one experiment

In Guilz/rfret: Analyze FRET Binding Data

Description

This internal function corrects the raw FRET signal of a single experiment by applying corrections for donor bleedthrough and acceptor direct excitation. See Hieb AR et al (2012) and Winkler DD et al (2012) for details.

Usage

fret_correct_one_dataset(one_dataset)

Arguments

one_dataset

A dataframe containing the FRET data after avergaing over technical replicates. This dataframe must contain the following columns: Experiment A unique name identifying each experiment. Type Either "acceptor_only" (no donor control), "donor_only" (no acceptor control), or "titration" (experiment with both donor and acceptor). Observation A number identifying each observation in a titration series (corresponds to the plate column numbers, if experiments are set up as rows in a 384-well plate). The number of observations for an experiment and its blanks must match, and a given observation number must associate data points at the same concentration in the titration series. concentration The ligand concentration in the titration series. fret_channel Fluorescence intensity in the FRET channel. acceptor_channel Fluorescence intensity in the acceptor channel. donor_channel Fluorescence intensity in the donor channel. The output of fret_average_replicates can be used directly as input for this function.

Value

A dataframe containing the corrected FRET signal. It contains three columns:

Experiment

A unique name identifying each experiment (same as in the input data).

concentration

The ligand concentration in the titration series (same as in the input data).

fret

The corrected FRET signal.
