  1. Relaxation methods A chemical equilibrium is thrown off-balance, and we measure the rate of reaching the new equilibrium. E.g.: temperature jump,

  2. Revival of the temperature jump method Measurement of the rate of protein folding: The fluorescence of tryptophane (ns time-scale) is influenced by the polarity of the medium. Protein folding tends to exclude water from the globule. Principle of the measurement: the protein is defolded by cooling, then a temperature jump returns the temperature to physiological conditions. The tryptophane fluorescence is measured on the ms timescale, thus we can follow the change of polarity near the tryptophane.

  3. Time-correlated single photon counting Instead of measuring the decay of fluorescence in real time, we measure the time between the excitation and emission, and based on the statistics we estimate the lifetime of the fluorescence.
