Adsorption of Oligonucleotides on Quantum Dots Coated with Zwitterionic Ligands and other Water-soluble Ligands
A strategy to ameliorate non-specific adsorption of oligonucleotides onto Quantum Dots (QDs) is investigated where QDs are being used as a platform for the development of optical bioprobes for nucleic acid detection. Certain zwitterionic structures as coatings on QDs have recently been shown to redu...
