Probing the inner local density of complex macromolecules by pyrene excimer formation
Hunter Little, Sanjay Patel, Jean Duhamel
Abstract
relationship provides a novel experimental means to probe the conformation of macromolecules which should establish pyrene excimer formation as an appealing method for conformational studies of macromolecules in solution, which should nicely complement scattering techniques.
