We utilized the peptide molecules capping ZnS crystal surface to exchange the organic ligand onto CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanoparticle, that resulted in highly fluorescent, water-soluble one. Various sizes of particles via surface functional group exchange could retain their original morphology and optical property such as uv-vis absorption, and fluorescent. To covalently attach the peptide-capped nanoparticles to biological macromolecules, we used cross-linker reagent coupling the nanoparticles and antibodys. The particles-labeled antibodys were employed in fluoroimmunoassays, and the result demonstrated that the particle-antibody conjugation would not affect the activity of protein. These peptide-capped nanoparticles promise to be a versatile tool for probing of biological systems and biolabeling.
