Would a "non-fluorophore" emit the same amount of light absorbed/not emit a photon after absorbing light? Basically, how would a non-fluorophore act differently from a fluorophore? Also, do scientists use Stokes' shift to determine whether something will shine under a UV/Infrared light? If so, how exactly? Why do fluorophores have to be cyclic/have high resonance energy? Why do fluorophores bind to nucleic acids? I know they help detect stuff, but why would a nucleic acid anf fluorophore organically bind together? Any responses to these questions would be great; I'm sorry if I used the wrong terminology — I'm not an expert.
