Small photostable photoswitchable quantum dots as nanotools for live cell imaging
We recently reported a novel surface architecture for the generation of biocompatible and stable photoswitchable quantum dots (psQDs). The system is based on Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) from a QD donor to diheteroarylethenes photochromic (PC) acceptors (pcFRET). The PC molecules are lin...

We recently reported a novel surface architecture for the generation of biocompatible and stable photoswitchable quantum dots (psQDs). The system is based on Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) from a QD donor to diheteroarylethenes photochromic (PC) acceptors (pcFRET). The PC molecules are linked to an amphiphilic polymer that self-assembles, creating an interior lipophilic space, in which the hydrophobic PCs are included, and external facing carboxyl groups. psQDs retain the desirable properties of the original QDs; furthermore the brightness can be tailored by light. The modulation of emission monitored by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence is 35-40%. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is of far-reaching biomedical importance due to its overexpression and/or mutation in various types of cancer. Here, we demonstrate imaging of live cells exposed to psQDs targeted to the EGFR. |
