New strategies for tagging quantum dots for dynamic cellular imaging

In recent years, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have arisen as a new class of fluorescent probes that possess unique optical and electronic properties well-suited for single-molecule imaging of dynamic live cell processes. Nonetheless, the large size of conventional QD-ligand constructs has preclu...
