How to conjugate carboxylic acid functionalized CdTe Qds with thiolated oligonucleotides?

05 October 2016 1 4K Report

Hi,

I would like to modify the surface of carboxylic acid functionalized CdTe Qds with thiolated oligonucleotides. Can anyone help me for protocol to create thiolester bond between (CdTe Qd)O=C-S(Oligonucleotide)?
