Reduced cytotoxicity of insulin-immobilized CdS quantum dots using PEG as a spacer

Reduced cytotoxicity of insulin-immobilized CdS quantum dots using PEG as a spacer

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Cytotoxicity is a severe problem for cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CSNPs) in biological systems. In this study, mercaptoacetic acid-coated CSNPs, typical semiconductor Q-dots, were synthesized in aqueous medium by the arrested precipitation method. Then, amino-t...
