A convenient formula has been derived for the calculation of Forster transfer rates between chlorophyll a molecules. The formula is applicable over limited ranges of absorption maxima positions, Stokes' shifts, solvents, relative orientations and intermolecular distances. The limitations on the applicability of the Forster transfer model are discussed. Finally, some implications for in vivo energy transfer are considered.
