We report here a novel system where the rate of energy transfer is based on changes in the spectral overlap between the emission of the donor and the absorption of the acceptor (J) as well as changes in the quantum yield of the acceptor. We use the fluorophore dansyl as the donor and polydiacetylene (PDA) as the acceptor to demonstrate the modulation of FRET through conformationally induced changes in the PDA absorption spectrum following thermal treatment that converts the PDA backbone of the liposome from the blue form to the red form. Energy transfer was found to be significantly more efficient from dansyl to the red-form PDA. These findings support the basis of a new sensing platform that utilizes J-modulated FRET as an actuating mechanism.
