Energy transfer to fluorescent proteins. There are marked differences among the various bacterial species and strains in terms of the in vivo luminescence spectra. The emission maxima are spread mostly in a range from 472 to 505 nm (Seliger and Morton, 1968), but one of the strains, P. fischeri Y-l, shows a maximum at 545 nm (Ruby and Nealson, 1977), as shown in Fig. 2.3. However, the in vitro luminescence spectra measured with purified luciferases obtained from the various bacterial species and strains are all similar (Amax about 490 nm). The variation in the in vivo luminescence spectra may be due to the occurrence of an intermolecular energy transfer that increases the efficiency of light emission.

The yield of cross-linking depends on the microstructure of polybutadiene and purity of the polymer as well as on whether it is irradiated in air or in vacuum. The cross-link yield, G(X), has been calculated to be lowest for trans and highest for vinyl isomer [339]. The introduction of styrene into the butadiene chain leads to a greater reduction in the yield of cross-linking, than the physical blends of polybutadiene and polystyrene [340]. This is due to the intra- and probably also intermolecular energy transfer from the butadiene to the styrene constituent and to the radiation stability of the latter unit.

Work on intermolecular energy transfer at low temperature from a donor (D) to an acceptor (A) has indicated that if a donor is prepared such that its triplet state has a unique spin direction, the acceptor will also have a unique and predictable direction when both donor and acceptor are oriented in a single crystal. 27 ... 

Irradiation of solutions containing equimolar amounts of n = 1-4 and /ra/is-j9-methylstyrene as a quencher at concentrations comparable to those of the experiments reported in Table 6.6 indicated that intermolecular energy transfer cannot compete with intramolecular energy transfer under these conditions. 

As seen from (1) and (2), intermolecular processes may reduce essentially the lifetime and the fluorescence quantum yield. Hence, controlling the changes of these characteristics, we can monitor their occurrence and determine some characteristics of intermolecular reactions. Such processes can involve other particles, when they interact directly with the fluorophore (bimolecular reactions) or participate (as energy acceptors) in deactivation of S) state, owing to nonradiative or radiative energy transfer. Table 1 gives the main known intermolecular reactions and interactions, which can be divided into four groups ...
