A comparison of Förster resonance energy transfer analysis approaches for Nanodrop fluorometry.

Ensemble Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) results can be analyzed in a variety of ways. Due to experimental artifacts, the results obtained from different analysis approaches are not always the same. To determine the optimal analysis approach to use for Nanodrop fluorometry, we have performed both ensemble and single-molecule FRET studies on oligomers of double-stranded DNA.
