Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 May 7;46(17):2971-3. doi: 10.1039/b924299f. Epub 2010 Mar 5.

Abstract

A simple quantum-dot-based OFF-ON fluorescent probe is reported to detect glutathione with high selectivity and sensitivity from other structurally related thiols by a simple ligand displacement process.
