Intrachain fluorescence quenching in a flexible polymer: A theory for frequency-domain fluorometric experiments
We present a theory for analyzing the frequency-domain fluorometric experiments on intrachain fluorescence-quenching reactions occurring in flexible chain polymers. The results are applied to investigate the qualitative dependence of the modulation and the phase angle on the chain length of the polymer, based on the Rouse chain model.
