This protocol presents a method for measuring adenine nucleotide binding to receptors in real time in a cellular environment. Binding is measured as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between trinitrophenyl nucleotide derivatives and protein labeled with a non-canonical, fluorescent amino acid.
