Abstract
A discussion of the range of applicability of Forster long-range energy transfer in the determination of macromolecular dimensions and conformational dynamics is given. Emphasis is laid on the effect of restrictions in the orientational freedom of donor and acceptor and on the importance of the orientational averaging regime. The usefulness and limitations of polarized emission measurements in this regard are discussed.Keywords
