Embodiments of the present disclosure include conjugate systems, methods of using conjugate systems, RET21R conjugates (also referred to as "BRET-FRET-NIR conjugates"), systems including RET2IR conjugates, methods of using the RET2IR conjugates, and the like. In general, embodiments of the present disclosure involve the non-radiative transfer of energy between a bioluminescence donor molecule and a semiconductor polymer and then the non- radiative transfer of energy between the semiconductor polymer and an NIR dye, all without external illumination. |
