title: Emission quench of water-soluble ZnS-AgInS2 solid solution nanocrystals and its application to chemosensors.
abstract: Redox-dependent emission quenching of low toxic ZnS-AgInS(2) semiconductor nanocrystals was studied and the obtained behavior was found to be applicable to fabrication of fluorescent biosensors in combination with redox enzymes.
