Quantum Dot-Dopamine Study
In Washington, scientists at the Naval
Research Laboratory (NRL), in conjunction with the Scripps Research Institute in
La Jolla, Calif., have reported a detailed study of the interactions of water-soluble
semiconductor quantum dots and the electroactive neurotransmitter dopamine. The
biocompatible nanoassemblies could be used as active components in sensors that
detect a variety of target analytes, including sugar and peroxide. The research
was supported by NRL’s Nanoscience Institute and the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency.
