Abstract
The luminescence of CdSe/ZnS QDs is quenched via electron transfer by hemin/G-quadruplex associated with the particles. This phenomenon is implemented to develop DNA sensors or aptasensors by tailoring hairpin-functionalized QDs that generate the hemin/G-quadruplex quenchers upon sensing of the respective analytes.
