Small, stable, and bright quantum dots (QDs) are of interest in many biosensing and biomedical imaging applications, but current methodologies for obtaining these characteristics can be highly specialized or expensive. We describe a straightforward, low-cost protocol for functionalizing poly(isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PIMA) with moieties that anchor to the QD surface (histamine), impart hydrophilicity [(2-aminoethyl)trimethylammonium chloride (Me3N+-NH2)], and provide a platform for biofunctionalization via click chemistry (dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)). Guidelines to successfully use this polymer for QD ligand exchange are presented, and an example of biofunctionalization with DNA is shown. Stable QD–DNA conjugates are obtained with high yield and without requiring additional purification steps.< Leer menos
