We have systematically studied the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency between the photoluminescent graphene oxide (GO) and Cy3.5 dye by controlling the donor-acceptor distance with a double stranded DNA and demonstrated that the GO serves as an acceptor rather than a donor in this FRET system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
