  • Title: Semiconductor quantum dots and free radical induced DNA nicking.
    Author: Green M, Howman E.
    Journal: Chem Commun (Camb); 2005 Jan 07; (1):121-3. PubMed ID: 15614393.
    Abstract:
    There is a growing interest in the use of semiconductor quantum dots as fluorescent markers in biological applications. However, there are concerns regarding the potential environmental impact and toxic nature of these nanomaterials. In this study, we have investigated the interaction of water-soluble semiconductor quantum dots with supercoiled DNA.
