title: Nucleotide passivated cadmium sulfide quantum dots.
abstract: Semiconductor quantum dots are finding numerous applications in biological systems; in this paper, we report the simple in situ preparation of nucleotide capped cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles and investigate the interaction of the capping agent with the nanoparticle surface.
