Аннотация:The influence of the chirality of semiconductor nanocrystals, CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs)
capped with L- and D-cysteine, on the efficiency of their uptake by living Ehrlich Ascite
carcinoma cells is studied by spectral- and time-resolved fluorescence microspectroscopy. We
report an evident enantioselective process where cellular uptake of the L-Cys QDs is almost
twice as effective as that of the D-Cys QDs. This finding paves the way for the creation of novel
approaches to control the biological properties and behavior of nanomaterials in living cells.
