Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer is a spectroscopic method that provides distance information on macromolecules in solution in the range 20-80 A. It is particularly suited to the analysis of the global structure of nucleic acids because the long-range distance information provides constraints when modelling these important structures. The application of fluorescence resonance energy transfer to nucleic acid structure has seen a resurgence of interest in the past decade, which continues to increase. An especially exciting development is the recent extension to single-molecule studies.
