Abstract
Disclosed herein are biosensors useful for detecting the dimerization of RAF and/or KSR polypeptides. These biosensors comprise fusion proteins comprising RAF and/or KSR proteins fused to bioluminescent or fluorescent proteins. Also disclosed are methods of using the biosensors to detect and measure the dimerization of RAF/RAF and RAF/KSR polypeptides by resonance energy transfer such as BRET or FRET, for example to screen for inhibitors of dimerization.
