Trying to figure out a better model for the photobleaching of Sybr Green I in the DNA melting lab, because our current model fails at long times.

What is the current model?

The Matlab DNA melting simulation writeup has a fixed percentage of the fluorophores being destroyed every time step. VERIFY THIS

How does Sybr Green actually photobleach?

Photobleaching is "a very poorly understood phenomenon" [1]
