Biotinylated poly(p-phenylene ethynylene): unexpected energy transfer results in the detection of biological analytes.
Decreased spectral overlap between a donor biotinylated poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) and a chromophore-labeled streptavidin acceptor leads to better observed fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
