Since its development in China thousands of years ago, silk from silkworms, spiders and other insects has been used for high-end, luxury fabrics as well as for parachutes and medical sutures. Now, MRSEC
A designer protein combining ZnS mineralizing activity with IgG adaptor capability was built and used for easy and rapid aqueous synthesis of immuno-QDs. The particles consist of a ≈ 4 nm ZnS wurtzite core, can be derivatized with a wide variety of unmodified antibodies, and have ultrasmall (14 nm) diameters.
