Abstract

We present a molecular characterization of metal-affinity driven self-assembly between CdSe−ZnS core−shell quantum dots (QDs) and a series of proteins and peptides appended with various length polyhistidine tags. In particular, we investigated the kinetics of self-assembly between surface-immobilized QDs and proteins/peptides under flow conditions, as well as between freely diffusing QDs and proteins/peptides (solution phase). In the first configuration, QDs were immobilized onto functionalized substrates and then exposed to dye-labeled peptides/proteins. Using evanescent wave excitation, we assessed self-assembly by monitoring the time-dependent changes in the dye fluorescence. In solution, the kinetics of self-assembly was monitored via energy transfer between QDs and dye-labeled proteins/peptides. These measurements allowed determination of the kinetic parameters, including the association and dissociation rates ( k on and k off ) and the apparent binding constant ( K d ). We find that self-assembly is rapid with an equilibrium constant K d -1 ≈ 1 nM for solution self-assembly, confirming that metal-affinity interactions provide QD bioconjugates that are functional and stable.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
