Unraveling Energy Transfer and Fluorescence Quenching Dynamics in Biomolecular Complexes: A Comprehensive Study of Imiquimod-Rifampicin Interaction.

In nature, numerous biomolecules are implicated in charge transfer (CT) and energy transfer (ET) mechanisms crucial for fundamental processes such as photosynthesis. Unveiling these mechanisms is pertinent to multiple disciplines including chemistry, engineering and biochemistry. This letter presents a study involving two molecules forming a model system with efficient ET properties. Specifically, their complex exhibits dark quenching phenomena arising from fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the donor (imiquimod) to the acceptor (rifampicin). Supplemented by experimental findings, molecular dynamics simulations and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations conclusively validate the ET properties from the donor to the acceptor as described above
