title = "The structure and folding of branched RNA analyzed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer",
abstract = "Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a spectroscopic means of obtaining distance information over a range up to similar to 80 angstrom in solution. It is based on the dipolar coupling between the electronic transition moments of a donor and acceptor fluorophore attached at known positions on the RNA species of interest. It can be applied in ensembles of molecules, either by steady-state fluorescence or by lifetime measurements, but it is also very appropriate for single-molecule studies. In addition to the provision of distance information, recent studies have emphasized the orientation dependence of energy transfer.",
