Fluorescence arguably constitutes the most widely used experimental approach in the field
of protein folding. Hence, any review of the use of fluorescence to probe protein stability and …

In 1970, three laboratories independently made a discovery that, for aromatic fluorophores
embedded into different rigid and highly viscous media, the spectroscopic properties do not …

When 5 (6)-carboxyfluorescein (6CF) is encapsulated in liposomes at 0.2 m, 97–98% of the
fluorescence is quenched. We have studied the mechanism of this effect. The dye-liposome …

Recently it has become possible to measure fluorescence phase-shift and modulation data
over a wide range of modulation frequencies. In this paper we describe the analysis of these …

Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful physical technique
for the studies of fast reactions and dynamics on the subpicosecond to microsecond time …

Molecular approaches to solar-energy conversion require a kinetic optimization of light-
induced electron-transfer reactions. At molecular–semiconductor interfaces, this optimization …

During the past several years there has been debate about the origins of nonexponential
intensity decays of intrinsic tryptophan (trp) fluorescence of proteins, especially for single …

Methodologies for the simultaneous analysis of multiple total-intensity, anisotropy, and
excited-state reactions are developed. Alternatives to the standard sums-of-exponentials …

Molecular dyes, called sensitizers, with a cis-[Ru (LL)(dcb)(NCS) 2] structure, where dcb is 4,
4′-(CO2H) 2-2, 2′-bipyridine and LL is dcb or a different diimine ligand, are among the …

Photonics of biopolymers discusses the processes of energy transformation in photoexcited
proteins, nucleic acids, membranes and model systems. The author addresses, among other …
