title: Self-assembly of Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots/octa(3-aminopropyl)octasilsequioxane octahydrochloride nanohybrids for optosensing DNA.
abstract: Simple plan! Nanohybrids have been built from capped Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots and octa(3-aminopropyl)octasilsequioxane octahydrochloride (OA-POSS) by means of electrostatic self-assembly for the development of a novel room-temperature phosphorescence sensor for DNA sensing in biological fluids (see graphic).
