Influence of triplet states in donor and acceptor molecules on function E(RDA) describing dependence of FRET efficiency E on inter-dye distance RDA is considered. Formula for E(RDA) differs from conventional equation used widely in practice and it shows that triplet states hampers energy transfer in D-A pair, considerably.
Key words: single donor-acceptor pair / efficiency of energy transfer
