Enzymatic biomineralization of biocompatible CuInS2, (CuInZn)S2 and CuInS2/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals for bioimaging

Abstract

This work demonstrates a bioenabled, aqueous phase, room temperature route to synthesize CuInS2/ZnS quantum dots conjugated to IgG antibodies for fluorescent tagging of THP-1 leukemia cells.</p
