Foerster resonance energy transfer rate and local density of optical states are uncorrelated in any dielectric nanophotonic medium [PDF]
Motivated by the ongoing debate about nanophotonic control of Foerster resonance energy transfer (FRET), notably by the local density of optical states (LDOS), we study an analytic model system wherein a pair of ideal dipole emitters - donor and acceptor

Some Secrets of Fluorescent Proteins: Distinct Bleaching in Various Mounting Fluids and Photoactivation of cyan fluorescent proteins at YFP-Excitation [PDF]
Background The use of spectrally distinct variants of green fluorescent protein (GFP) such as cyan or yellow mutants (CFP and YFP, respectively) is very common in all different fields of life sciences, e.g. for marking specific proteins or cells

Inhibition of African swine fever virus protease by myricetin and myricitrin
African swine fever (ASF) caused by the ASF virus (ASFV) is the most hazardous swine disease. Since a huge number of pigs have been slaughtered to avoid a pandemic spread, intense studies on the disease should be followed quickly. Recent studies reported

Quantum Dots (QD-Dye Conjugate) are Ideal Candidates for FRET Investigations Using TIRMicroscopy [PDF]
Total Internal Reflection Microscopy has been employed to investigate Förster resonance energy transfer FRET for QD-dye conjugate system. QDs based donor systems are ideal for FRET for many reasons, one of them is that their broad excitation cross ...
