Summary on Grant Application Form
Fluorescence as an analytical methodology is of increasing importance for characterising natural biomolecules (e.g. via kinetics, binding and folding experiments), new materials (e.g. via measurements of fluorescence anisotrophy in thin organic films), new protocatalysts from organic or protein libraries (e.g. by screening for the production of a fluorescent product in the presence of a non-fluorescent substrate) and new metal complexes (e.g.via probing charge-transfer properties). In addition chemical sensors based on fluorescence are of immense interest as they tend to exhibit high signal to noise ratios, and fluorescent supramolecular receptors, sensors and switches are of interest in bioanalytical chemistry and nanotechnology.The School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds has strong research interests in all of these fields and wishes to strengthen its research capability with a research grade steady-state fluorimeter and by upgrading its existing time-resolved fluorescence equipment.
