Original Abstract

In this paper, the interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and water soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs) modified with different ligands (3-mercaptoacetic acid, thioglycolic acid and glutathione) was studied using the fluorescence spectroscopy. It was found that the presence of QDs led to a strong quenching effect of BSA, which could be explained by a covalent interaction between the protein and the quencher, demonstrating the formation of QDs-BSA bioconjugates.
