Membrane analysis with amphiphilic carbon dots

Abstract: Newly-synthesized amphiphilic carbon dots were used for spectroscopic analysis and multicolour microscopic imaging of membranes and live cells. We show that Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurred from the amphiphilic carbon dots to different membrane-associated fluorescence acceptors. The amphiphilic carbon dots enabled imaging of membrane disruption by the beta-amyloid peptide.

“…In Figure d, when the excitation wavelength is changed from 600 to 900 nm, the emission wavelength redshifts, and the up‐conversion PL may be attributed to active processes resulting from two or more photons . Extensive PL and excitation‐related fluorescence characteristics may be attributed to differences in the size of the BCDs and the different emission traps on their surfaces …”

“…Such composite nanoparticles include Fe 3 O 4 coated with various materials, including Au nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @Au) , CdSe quantum dots (Fe 3 O 4 @CdSe) , SiO 2 nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 ) , graphene (Fe 3 O 4 @GC) , and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNT) . As both a new nanoscale material and carbon molecule, carbon dots (C‐dots) have attracted wide attention because of their distinctive molecular structure and performance. They have a huge advantage over traditional quantum dots due to a low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility .…”

“…In addition, NMR has been proved to be powerful in the establishment of the 8 Journal of Nanomaterials chemical alterations that happened to the surface modifiers during carbonization. For instance, Khanam et al [88] applied 1 H NMR characterization to follow the conversion of methoxy group to hydroxyl group on the surface of F-C-dots during the reaction process, and Nandi et al [165] applied 1 HNMR to confirm the transformation of the glucose residues into elemental carbon and the presence of coating alkyl chains. Although the NMR technique has merits in nondestructive nature and easy sample preparation, it is very expensive, time-consuming, and less sensitive in comparison to mass spectrometric techniques.…”
