Quantum dots-hemin: Preparation and application in the absorption of heme iron
Publication date: October 2016 Source:Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 7 Author(s): Lina Geng, Xianglin Duan, Yan Wang, Yashuo Zhao, Guofen Gao, Delong Liu, Yan-Zhong Chang, Peng Yu The absorption mechanism of heme iron remains unclear due to the limit of labeling techniques. Quantum dots (QDs) are powerful fluorescent probes resistant to photobleaching, however, there is no data about the application of QDs in heme iron absorption. Herein, we prepared hemin-coated CdSe/ZnS (QDs-hemin), and studied their absorption in vitro and in vivo. Results showed that QDs-hemin had uniform...
