Fluorescent Molecular Rotors (FMRs) are synthetic molecules that are dim when they can freely spin but emit bright fluorescence when their rotation is hindered by binding to another molecule or due to the viscosity of the surrounding medium. This exciting ability is already being used to study conformations of protein aggregates and to measure microviscosity […]
