Electrophysiology is the gold standard for investigating ion channel activity. However, there are plenty of alternative approaches, including optical methods. Here, we describe a method to monitor the activity of the leucine-rich repeat containing 8 channel (LRRC8)-formed anion channels using an inter-subunit Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based method.
