Zinc porphyrin: a fluorescent acceptor in studies of Zn-cytochrome c unfolding by fluorescence resonance energy transfer.

abstract：:Brain areas' functional repertoires are shaped by their incoming and outgoing structural connections. In empirically measured networks, most connections are short, reflecting spatial and energetic constraints. Nonetheless, a small number of connections span long distances, consistent with the notion that the functiona...
