How to calculate the spectral overlap or J-overlap integral with python

Today’s topic is will be on a important one related to analysis of energy transfer between fluorescent molecules. Precisely measuring and predicting energy transfer events on the molecular scale is extremely important for a multitude of applications related to medicine, biotechnology, materials science, and engineering. While there are many mechanisms by which molecules can transfer energy, here we will be specifically addressing a aspect of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B6rster_resonance_energy_transfer" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Förster Resonance Energy Transfer</a> (FRET) mechanism. FRET could briefly be described as mechanism by which an excited state “donor” molecule transfers it’s energy to a ground state “acceptor” molecule through interaction between their electronic transition dipoles. The result is the donor returning to the ground state and the acceptor being excited. <a href="https://medium.com/@mattchiriboga1/how-to-calculate-the-spectral-overlap-or-j-overlap-integral-with-python-27ba02649790">Website</a>
