ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for detecting leptin receptor ligands using resonance energy transfer between fusion proteins comprising a leptin receptor and energy donor protein and a leptin receptor and energy acceptor protein. The present invention also relates to the fusion proteins for implementing said method.
