| Abstract: | Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers and water-soluble 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA)-capped CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were combined
to produce a new gel containing supramolecular complexes of QDs/PAMAM dendrimers. The formation of the QDs/PAMAM supramolecular
complexes was confirmed by high resolution electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses. Molecular dynamics
simulations corroborated the structure of the new QDs/PAMAM-based supramolecular compound. Finally, on the basis of the prominent
fluorescent properties of the supramolecular complexes, PAMAM dendrimer was functionalized with folic acid to produce a new
QDs/PAMAM-folate derivative that showed an efficient and selective performance as a marker for gastric cancer cells. |
