scale~\cite{Kapanidis_2006}. smFRET experiments can detect the distance between
two fluorescent labels (\textit{donor} and \textit{acceptor}) in the
3-10~nm range. In the commonly employed confocal geometry, molecules are free
to diffuse in solution. When a molecule traverses the excitation
volume volume, it
emits a burst of
photons that photons, which can be detected by single-photon avalanche
detectors (SPADs). diode (SPAD) detectors.
The intensities of donor and acceptor fluorescence
can then be related to the distance between the two dyes.

single-molecules in a continuous stream of photon, estimating the
background and other correction factors, filtering and finally extracting the corrected
FRET efficiencies for each sub-population in the sample. In this paper we introduce FRETBursts,
a software for confocal smFRET data
analysis analysis, which
allows executing a complete burst analysis pipeline by using state-of-the-art algorithms.
FRETBursts is an open source
python package that Python package, which we
envision both propose as
both a toolkit
for research and new developments in burst
analysis analysis, and as
a reference implementation of commonly employed algorithms.
We follow the highest standard in software development to ensure that
the source is easy to read, well documented and thoroughly tested.
Moreover, in an effort to lower the barriers to computational reproducibility,
we embrace a modern workflow based on Jupyter
notebooks that notebooks, which allows
to capture
of capturing the whole
analysis process from
reading raw data to
generating publication-ready figures within a single document.
