Novel insights into fluorescent ‘dark states’ illuminate ways forward for improved imaging

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have reported a way to improve molecular scale distance measurements using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET). smFRET quantifies the excitation and emission properties of chemicals called fluorophores. The findings were published in Nature Methods. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have reported a way to improve molecular scale distance measurements using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET). smFRET quantifies the excitation and emission properties of chemicals called fluorophores.
