528 ENERGY TRANSFER TO MULTIPLE ACCEPTORS IN ONE,TWO, OR THREE DIMENSIONS<br />

Figure 15.30. Relative donor quantum yield versus C/C 0 in one (1D),<br />

two (2D), and three (3D) dimensions.<br />

brane (acceptor per phospholipid), and for DNA<br />

(acceptor per base pair). For the membranes<br />

assume 70 Å 2 per phospholipid, and for DNA<br />

assume 3.4 Å per base pair. Use R 0 = 50 Å. Are<br />

these acceptor concentrations practical for proteins,<br />

membranes or nucleic acids?<br />

P15.4. Calculation <strong>of</strong> R 0 from the Extent <strong>of</strong> Donor Quenching:<br />

Figure 15.31 shows calculated donor decays for<br />

membrane-bound donors and acceptors. 50 The simulations<br />

were performed using 70 Å 2 per lipid mol-<br />

Figure 15.31. Calculated time-resolved decays <strong>of</strong> donor fluorescence<br />

for membrane-bound donors and acceptors. The area per lipid (PL)<br />

molecule was taken as 70 Å 2 per lipid. Revised from [50].<br />

ecule and the acceptor densities (A/PL) shown in<br />

Figure 15.31. Calculate the R 0 value for this<br />

donor–acceptor pair.
