Abstract

A novel QD-peptide complex for detecting HIV-1 protease activity was prepared from simple one step electrostatic interaction. Fluorescence recovery of the pre-quenched QD through fluorescence resonance energy transfer allowed for in vitro assay and live cell imaging of the protease activity in HIV-1 transfected cells, proving the potential for cell-based protease inhibitor screening.
