Förster-resonance-energy transfer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004603",
  "term": "Förster-resonance-energy transfer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A non-radiative process where energy is transferred from an excited donor fluorophore to an acceptor chromophore through long-range dipole-dipole coupling. This phenomenon is highly sensitive to the distance between the donor and acceptor, typically occurring over distances of 1-10 nanometers. It is widely used in biochemistry and biophysics to measure molecular distances and interactions.",
