20. A transforms the rate for occurrence of this transition into the rate of acceptor fluorescence by counting only the fraction of A excitations that eventually fluoresce. This simple correction requires that the intramolecular rate constants of the acceptor do not depend on the donor's state, a condition mandated by property 2 above.
21. The rate-limiting step for emission by either D or A is the excitation transition, which occurs with rate (The system is almost always in the D A ground state because of the weak excitation conditions). The factors multiplying in the emission rates reflect the probabilities that a single excitation beginning in D A ultimately yields either a donor or acceptor photon.

28. T. Competing transfer mechanisms, breakdown of the dipole approximation, and/or technical details related to photon detection may also lead to deviations between experimentally measured transfer efficiencies and our theory. Acceptor photobleaching can also reduce E if data from donor-only sample molecules is not eliminated.
