Enhanced Intracellular Uptake of CdTe Quantum Dots by Conjugation of Oligopeptides
Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS), a typical membrane-permeable carrier peptide, was conjugated with mercaptoisobutyric acid-immobilized CdTe quantum dot (CTNPs) to enhance the intracellular uptake of quantum dots. Mean size of mercaptoisobutyric acid-immobilized quantum dots (37 nm) as determined by dynamic l...
