Adventitious impurities in pharmaceutical and surgical supplies may act as energy transfer acceptors, scavengers, or complexants and make radiation sterilization more difficult owing to radioprotective action. 

The quenching of the CC luminescence from the copper(l) clusters Cu4I4py4 by a series of Cr(acac-x)3 and other electron-transfer and energy-transfer acceptors demonstrated a similar pattern of pressure effects [52]. 

Figure 4.20. Strategies for optical detection of intrinsic DNA bends and kinks. (Top) The FRET approach. The energy transfer donor dye (open circle) is covalently attached to the 5 end of a DNA strand. The complementary strand is labeled on its 5 end with an energy transfer acceptor dye (closed circle). The measured energy transfer is a function of the dye-to-dye distance R and should be different for the double helical straight DNA compared with the double helical bent DNA. (Bottom) The noncovalent probe approach. A probe molecule (shaded circle) is allowed to bind to either straight or bent duplex DNA. Equilibrium binding constants or kinetics of association may be monitored via the spectroscopic properties of the probe.
