FLUORESCENCE
Fluorescence anisotropy
fluorescence anisotropy assays the rotational
diffusion of a molecule from the decorrelation of
polarization between the exciting and emitted
(fluorescent) photons.
Anisotropy
polarization
Several phenomena ca
decrease the measured
anisotropy to values lower
than the maximum
theoretical values. The
most common cause is
rotational diffusion
