Thioamide-containing amino acids have been shown to quench a wide range of fluorophores through distinct mechanisms. Here, we quantitatively analyze the mechanism through which the thioamide functional group quenches the fluorescence of p-cyanophenylalanine (Cnf), tyrosine (Tyr), and tryptophan (Trp). By comparing PyRosetta simulations to published experiments performed on polyproline ruler peptides, we corroborate previous findings that both Cnf and Tyr quenching occurs via Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), while Trp quench
