“…FRET is known to depend on the following three factors: 32 (1) the extent of spectral overlap of acceptor absorption and donor emission, (2) the quantum yields of the donor, and (3) the distance between the donor and acceptor. FRET is a long-range and through-space interaction, which is independent of the intervening medium between donor and acceptor, such as solvents, chemical bonds, and polymer backbones. − The distance dependence of FRET has been employed as a “spectroscopic ruler” for a variety of applications, such as distance measurement between donor and acceptor, 51a,b protein folding, 51c,d conformational changes, 51e,f macromolecular associations,51g membrane fusion, and lipid exchange 51h. The photophysical phenomenon of FRET between donor and acceptor covalently attached to a polymer has been termed “photo harvesting” by Webber 52 and the “antenna effect” by Guillet .…”
