Figure 6, Quantitative Analyses of FRET a2A-YFP + Go-CFP a2A-YFP + Gs-CFP Donor(Go):acceptor(receptor) at 1:1, a proportion of receptor is not coupled to G protein Increaing the ration leads to higher degree of precoupling. In physiological conditions, G proteins are in significant excess compared to receptor, thus a large majority of receptor are precoupled.
