Polymer‐Coated Nanoparticles: A Universal Tool for Biolabelling Experiments
Feng Zhang,Emma E. Lees,Emma E. Lees,Faheem Amin,Pilar Rivera Gil,Fang Yang,Paul Mulvaney,Wolfgang J. Parak +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the properties of analyte-sensitive fluorophores can be tuned by using interactions with the underlying nanoparticles, and their use for intracellular pH-sensing demonstrated.

The Preparation of Colloidally Stable, Water-Soluble, Biocompatible, Semiconductor Nanocrystals with a Small Hydrodynamic Diameter
TL;DR: The polymer encapsulated water-soluble nanocrystals exhibit the same optical spectra as those formed initially in organic solvents, preserve photoluminescence intensities, are colloidally stable over a wide pH range, and exhibit low levels of nonspecific binding to cells.

The Preparation of Colloidally Stable, Water-Soluble, Biocompatible, Semiconductor Nanocrystals with a Small Hydrodynamic Diameter (vol 3, pg 1121, 2009)
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple, economical method for generating water-soluble, biocompatible nanocrystals that are colloidally robust and have a small hydrodynamic diameter is presented.

A structural model for apolipoprotein C-II amyloid fibrils: experimental characterization and molecular dynamics simulations.
Chai Lean Teoh,Chi L.L. Pham,Nevena Todorova,Andrew Hung,C. Lincoln,Emma E. Lees,Yuen Han Lam,Katrina J. Binger,Neil H. Thomson,Sheena E. Radford,Trevor A. Smith,Shirley A. Müller,Andreas Engel,Michael D. W. Griffin,Irene Yarovsky,Paul R. Gooley,Geoffrey J. Howlett +16 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that apoC-II monomers fold and self-assemble to form a stable cross-β-scaffold containing relatively unstructured connecting loops, and that charge clusters in the fibril rearrange to minimize the effects of same-charge interactions inherent in parallel in-register models.
Experimental determination of quantum dot size distributions, ligand packing densities, and bioconjugation using analytical ultracentrifugation.
Emma E. Lees,Menachem J. Gunzburg,Tich-Lam Nguyen,Geoffrey J. Howlett,Julie Rothacker,Edouard C. Nice,Andrew H. A. Clayton,Paul Mulvaney +7 more
TL;DR: Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) was used to characterize the size distribution and surface chemistry of quantum dots (QDs) and was found to be highly sensitive to nanocrystal size, resolving Nanocrystal sizes that differ by a single lattice plane.
