Introduction on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)

An brief introduction on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) with illustrations. (FuN in life, University of Ulm, Germany)

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a nonradiative process by which the excitation energy can be passed from a fluorescent donor molecule (D) to an acceptor chromophore (A) over long distances, typically 10 – 100 A.
