title: Fluorescence spectroscopy.
abstract: This chapter has introduced the theory of fluorescence, and briefly shown that it is a technique with many wide and varied applications in biochemistry. It has the overall advantage of being able to carry out measurements on small amounts of sample in solution, often revealing important information concerning the structure and dynamics of these systems.
