Figure 6From: Capillary electrophoresis for the characterization of quantum dots after non-selective or selective bioconjugation with antibodies for immunoassayReaction scheme illustrating hydrolysis of sulfo-SMCC activated of QD-NH 2 (QD-maleimide). Hydrolyzed QD-maleimide will contain maleamic acid moiety (QD-maleamic) unreactive towards free sulfhydryls.Back to article page
