| T1 |
0-83 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Can luminescent quantum dots be efficient energy acceptors with organic dye donors? |
| T2 |
84-267 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We assessed the ability of luminescent quantum dots (QDs) to function as energy acceptors in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays, with organic dyes serving as donors. |
| T3 |
268-382 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Either AlexaFluor 488 or Cy3 dye was attached to maltose binding protein (MBP) and used with various QD acceptors. |
| T4 |
383-479 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements showed no apparent FRET from dye to QD. |
| T5 |
480-619 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We attribute these observations to the dominance of a fast radiative decay rate of the donor excitation relative to a slow FRET decay rate. |
| T6 |
620-753 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This is due to the long exciton lifetime of the acceptor compared to that of the dye, combined with substantial QD direct excitation. |
