Biofabrication of ZnS-binding immuno-quantum dots

A designer protein combining ZnS mineralizing activity with IgG adaptor
capability was built and used for easy and rapid aqueous synthesis of
immuno-QDs. The particles consist of a ≈ 4 nm ZnS wurtzite core, can be
derivatized with a wide variety of unmodified antibodies, and have
ultrasmall (14 nm) diameters.
