(biochemistry) A molecule or functional group which is capable of fluorescence.
Another factor is that the emission of fluorescence frequently leaves a fluorophore in a higher vibrational level of the ground state. Source: Internet
PharmaXChange.info. Fluorescence anisotropy Fluorophores are more likely to be excited by photons if the transition moment of the fluorophore is parallel to the electric vector of the photon. Source: Internet
S 0 is called the ground state of the fluorophore (fluorescent molecule), and S 1 is its first (electronically) excited singlet state. Source: Internet
The antibodies are then coupled chemically to a fluorophore and used to trace the proteins in the cells under study. Source: Internet
