Özet

The fluorescence resonance energy transfer from fluorescein to merocyanine 540 in aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and Triton X-100 micellar solutions as well as deionized water was investigated at room temperature using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer rate constants (kT), obtained using both Stern-Volmer and Förster theories, were in good agreement. Moreover, energy transfer efficiency values of 0.14, 0.38, 0.77 and 0.85 for deionized water, sodium dodecyl sulfate, TX-100 and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micellar solution were obtained at the highest acceptor concentration at which fluorescence resonance energy transfer was achieved. The data obtained from steady-state absorption, fluorescence spectral studies and time-resolved lifetime measurements indicated that the fluorescence resonance energy transfer from fluorescein to merocyanine 540 occurred most effectively in aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micellar solutions. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
