Site-specific cellular delivery of quantum dots with chemoselectively-assembled modular peptides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modular peptides displaying both quantum dot bioconjugation motifs and specific subcellular targeting domains were constructed using a chemoselective aniline-catalyzed hydrazone coupling chemistry. Peptides were ratiometrically assembled onto quantum dots to facilitate their specific delivery to either the plasma membrane, endosomes, the cytosol or the mitochondria of target cells.
