FRET Combinations

Flowers--

What fluorochrome pairs have been successfully used for observing
surface colocalization and subsequent FRET.  I have had some nice
results using intrinsic CFP to YFP (with 407nm excitation) in
transgenic systems, but I now have a researcher who wants to evaluate
surface protein colocalization in isolated subcellular components.
While there are some obvious ones that come to mind (PE to Cy5--probably
not the most efficient), I was curious if there is any practical
experience to tap into regarding other pairings.  My excitation options
are 351nm, 407nm, and the remaining kryton/argon multiline options
(457-647nm).

See you next month in America's finest city
