Summary

Addressed to two specific groups of scientists: chemists interested in the transfer of resonance energy between identical molecules as occurs in physical chemistry and photosynthesis research; and biochemists and biophysicists interested in the transfer of resonance energy between molecules of different species, as found in the structure of proteins, nucleic acids, membranes, or muscle. Provides practical information on Forster distances, quantum yields, tables of donor-acceptor pairs, overlap integrals, and other spectroscopic parameters.
