A review is presented on the use of the technique of solute fluorescence quenching to study
the structure and dynamics of proteins. A number of factors are discussed that must be …

Publisher Summary Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a spectroscopic
process by which energy is passed nonradiatively among molecules over long distances …

Carvedilol is among the most effective β-blockers for improving survival after myocardial
infarction. Yet the mechanisms by which carvedilol achieves this superior clinical profile are …

In the last few years, non-coherent sensitized photon up-conversion (SUC) in multi-
component systems has been developed to achieve significantly high quantum yields for …

Luminescence spectroscopy is widely used in the study of biomoiecular structure.
Applications include the study of (1) discrete equilibrium structures under specific physical …

Approximately a third ofall proteins require metal ions for their activity or contain bound
metal ions in their native states. 1™ 3 Some of these metal ions, eg, Cu, Fe, Mo, exhibit …

Publisher Summary Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a technique for
measuring the distance between two points which are separated by approximately 10–75 …

Nanoparticles doped with lanthanide ions exhibit stable and visible luminescence under
near-infrared excitation via a process known as upconversion, enabling long-duration, low …

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is transfer of the excited-state energy from
the initially excited donor (D) to an acceptor (A). The donor molecules typically emit at …

The rare earth cryptates are used as long-lived fluorescent labels. They are formed by
inclusion of a europium ion in the intramolecular cavity of a macropolycyclic ligand …
