Study Notes

The lecture is about fluorescence spectrophotometry.
Fluorescence happens when an excited electron relaxes back to its ground state by emitting energy as photons.
There cannot be emission without previous absorption.
The lecture discusses the meaning of a Jablonski diagram.
The lecture explains fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and its main properties.
Excitation and emission spectra are generally broad.
Stokes shift is the difference between positions of the band maxima of the absorption and emission spectra of the same electronic transition.
FRET takes place when the emission frequency of a fluorophore matches the excitation frequency of a nearby second fluorophore.
FRET is extremely sensitive to intermolecular distance.
FRET can be used as an atomic "ruler" to measure the relative dynamics between two molecules.
