Optical properties and in vitro biological studies of oligonucleotide-modified quantum dots.

Water-sol. semiconducting nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much interest in recent years due to their tuneable emission and potential applications in photonics and biol. imaging. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) processes are very important for elucidating biochem. mechanisms in vitro, and QDs constitute an excellent substrate for this purpose. In this work, new oligonucleotide-functionalised CdTe-based QDs were prepd., characterised and biol. tested. These QDs demonstrated interesting optical properties as well as remarkable in vitro behavior and potential for a range of biol. applications. [on SciFinder(R)]
