- Description
- Luminescent water-soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs) capped with different thiol carboxylic acids were synthesized in aqueous medium and then cross linked to bovine serum albumin (BSA) with 1-ethyl3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). Enhancement of fluorescence emission intensity occurred for QDs in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA, mixed or linked) signifying inhibition of non-radiative recombination of the surface vacancies. Fluorescence studies reveal a positive deviation behaviour suggesting the occurrence of static and dynamic mechanisms of quenching together which was accounted for by the modified Stern–Volmer equation.
