High Affinity Peptide Neurotoxin Quantum Dot Conjugates for Detecting Endogenous Targets in Live Cells and Ex Vivo Tissue

This project focused upon advancing nanotechnology for applications in biological assays using highly fluorescent nanocrystals, quantum dots, with high affinity peptide neurotoxins as targeting molecules. Specifically, this work utilized three high affinity peptide neurotoxins, alpha-bungarotoxin, c...
