Publisher's Synopsis
This work is addressed to chemists interested in resonance energy transfer (RET) between molecules. It should be accessible to the beginning graduate student and is suitable as a reference and supplementary text for courses on biophysical techniques. Chemists interested in resonance energy transfer phenomena include physical chemists and chemists interested in photosynthesis research, as well as biochemists and biophysicists interested in the structure of proteins, nucleic acids, membranes or muscle. This book provides information on Foerster distances, quantum yields and other spectroscopic parameters that are necessary for tackling problems at the molecular level.
