Abstract
for this dye as compared to C5-PTZDCA in which the torsion angle is only ∼38°. Further, the observed facts have been validated by experimentally determined bandgaps (using cyclic voltammetry experiments) for all the dyes. Thus, the hydrophobic character and the presence of interactive substituents along with the electron-accepting abilities majorly control the FRET for such dyes with BSA.
