Efficiency enhancement of long-range energy transfer by sequential multistep FRET using fluorescence labeled DNA.
The efficiency of long-range (ca. 80 A) fluorescence energy transfer was enhanced about 1.5 times by a third chromophore located midway between two chromophores. A third chromophore should act like a relay station in sequential multistep energy transfer.
