title: Construction of a molecular beacon based on two-photon excited fluorescence resonance energy transfer with quantum dot as donor.
abstract: A new molecular beacon (MB) driven by two-photon excitation (TPE) using quantum dots as energy donor is constructed, which provides reduced direct excitation of acceptor and is free of interferences from autofluorescence or scattering light in a complicated biological matrix.
