title: Ultra-sensitive detection of prion protein with a long range resonance energy transfer strategy.
abstract: An ultra-sensitive detection strategy for prion protein is proposed based on the long range resonance energy transfer (LrRET) from quantum dots (QDs) to the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), in which process energy donor-acceptor separation distance ranges from 9 to 22 nm.
