Abstract
WE wish to report an application of the relationship between the kinetics of triplet energy transfer and donor–acceptor geometries to biomolecular systems. Our study illustrates the usefulness of measurements of this type in estimating molecular distances and providing a measure of variability within enzyme–inhibitor complexes.
