Abstract

V originále

With the goal to investigate biological phenomena at a single-cell level, we designed, synthesized and tested a molecular probe based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a highly luminescent quantum dot (QD) as a donor and a fluorophore or fluorescence quencher as an acceptor linked by a specific peptide. In principle, QD luminescence, effectively dissipated in the probe, is switched on after the cleavage of the peptide by a protease and the release of the quencher. We proposed a novel synthesis strategy of a probe. A two-step synthesis consists of: (i) Conjugation of CdTe QDs functionalized by –COOH groups of succinic acid on the nanoparticle surface with the designed specific peptide (GTADVEDTSC) using a ligand-exchange approach; (ii) A fast, high-yield reaction of amine-reactive succinimidyl group on the BHQ-2 quencher with N-terminal of the peptide.
