In vitro Capture, Transport, and Detection of Protein Analytes Using Kinesin‐Based Nanoharvesters

Abstract

Kinesin biomolecular motors and quantum dots (QDs) are used to capture, transport, and detect target protein analytes (see image). Nanoharvesters (QDs + kinesin + antibodies) provide a novel means for performing microfluidic diagnostic assays that do not rely on mechanical pumping or electrokinetic flow of analytes.
