Question:

In a FRET experiment designed to monitor conformational changes in T4 lysozyme, the fluorescence intensity fluctuates between 5000 and 10,000 counts per second. Assuming that 7500 counts represent a FRET efficiency of 0.5, what is the change in FRET pair separation distance during the reaction? For the  tetramethylrhodamine/Texas red FRET pair employed, r0 = 50.Å.
