Intein-mediated site-specific conjugation of Quantum Dots to proteins <it>in vivo</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We describe an intein based method to site-specifically conjugate Quantum Dots (QDs) to target proteins <it>in vivo</it>. This approach allows the covalent conjugation of any nanostructure and/or nanodevice to any protein and thus the targeting of suc...
