| Method |
Abstract: "[Investigators] use the statistics of photon emission from single molecules to probe the ultrafast dynamics of an unfolded protein via Förster resonance energy transfer." Primary source abstract: "To determine whether Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements can provide quantitative distance information in single-molecule fluorescence experiments on polypeptides, [investigators] measured FRET efficiency distributions for donor and acceptor dyes attached to the ends of freely diffusing polyproline molecules of various lengths." |
| Comments |
P.2656 right column 2nd paragraph: "Fluorophore reorientation occurs on the time scale of ≈300 ps (primary source) resulting fluctuations in the energy transfer rate would thus affect the correlation functions only on time scales much shorter than the range relevant for the dynamics investigated here." |
