Time-resolved methods in biophysics. 3. Fluorescence lifetime correlation spectroscopy

Photochem Photobiol Sci. 2007 Jan;6(1):13-8. doi: 10.1039/b610310c. Epub 2006 Nov 14.

Abstract

We present a thorough introduction into the recently developed fluorescence lifetime correlation spectroscopy (FLCS). The theoretical basis of FLCS is explained, and the method is applied to the study of a dynamic transition between two fluorescence lifetime states in a dye-protein complex.
