Measuring of the Quenching Rate of Atto-655 by Tryptophan

This study measures the quenching rate of Atto-655 by tryptophan using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and finds a distance-dependent quenching rate.

Non-equilibrium vibrational dynamics govern ultrafast electron transfer in avian cryptochrome

This study shows non-equilibrium vibrational dynamics dominate ultrafast electron transfer in ErCry4a, challenging Marcus theory and refining spectroscopic interpretations.

Environmental dipolar relaxation during excited state proton transfer in Green Fluorescent Protein

The paper shows dipolar relaxation in the protein matrix during ESPT in GFP, which influences the reaction pathway and is on the same timescale as ESPT.

The photoreaction process of a large-Stokes-shift red fluorescence protein-LSSmCherry1

This study investigates the excited-state dynamics of LSSmCherry1, a large-Stokes-shift red fluorescent protein, revealing that excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) is the primary source of its large Stokes shift.

Tetramethylrhodamine self-quenching is a probe of conformational change on the scale of 15 - 25 Angstroms

The paper determines the distance-dependence of TMR self-quenching and bounds its dissociation timescale, validating it as an alternative to FRET for conformational change detection.
