Journal ArticleDOI
Selection of peptides with semiconductor binding specificity for directed nanocrystal assembly
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used combinatorial phage display libraries to evolve peptides that bind to a range of semiconductor surfaces with high specificity, depending on the crystallographic orientation and composition of the structurally similar materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size Tunable Visible Luminescence from Individual Organic Monolayer Stabilized Silicon Nanocrystal Quantum Dots
TL;DR: In this article, the photoluminescence (PL) lifetimes in nanostructured silicon are typically very long−approximately 3 orders of magnitude longer than those of direct band gap semiconductors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solution-phase single quantum dot fluorescence resonance energy transfer
TL;DR: A single particle fluorescence resonance energy transfer (spFRET) study of freely diffusing self-assembled quantum dot (QD) bioconjugate sensors, composed of CdSe-ZnS core-shell QD donors surrounded by dye-labeled protein acceptors finds that spFRET provides information about FRET efficiency distributions which can be used to resolve distinct sensor subpopulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A reactive peptidic linker for self-assembling hybrid quantum dot-DNA bioconjugates
Igor L. Medintz,Lorenzo Berti,Thomas Pons,Amy F. Grimes,Douglas S. English,Andrea Alessandrini,Paolo Facci,Hedi Mattoussi +7 more
TL;DR: This work describes the synthesis and characterization of a thiol-reactive hexahistidine peptidic linker that can be chemically attached to thiolated-DNA oligomers and mediate their self-assembly to CdSe-ZnS core-shell QDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photophysics and Biological Applications of 7-Azaindole and Its Analogs
Alexandre V. Smirnov,Douglas S. English,R. L. Rich,J. Lane,Luc Teyton,A. W. Schwabacher,S. Luo,R. W. Thornburg,Jacob W. Petrich +8 more
TL;DR: The sensitivity of 7-azaindole to its environment is demonstrated and then exploited by studying it and its analogs in peptides and in complexes with larger proteins containing many tryptophan residues.
