Synthesis of amphiphilic triblock copolymers as multidentate ligands for biocompatible coating of quantum dots
{{output}}
One barrier to apply current tri-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) based quantum dots (QDs) to biomedical imaging is that the TOPO on TOPO-QDs can be replaced by the proteins in living system, which may cause the degradation of QDs and/or deactivation of protein. In... ...
