Characterization of dark quencher chromophores as nonfluorescent acceptors for single-molecule FRET.
Dark quenchers are chromophores that primarily relax from the excited state to the ground state nonradiatively (i.e., are dark). As a result, they can serve as acceptors for Förster resonance energy transfer experiments without contributing significantly to background in the donor-emission channel,...
