Abstract
) separated out by the experimental measurements and the DAS working model. This benchmark study has implications for both previous and future studies of protein ultrafast dynamics. The approach taken can be generalized for the study of proximate tyrosine and tryptophan in proteins and it suggests spectral strategies for extracting mixed rates in other complex FRET problems.
