Abstract
Detailed arrangements: A new set of zwitterionic quantum dots were synthesized and used to study the influence of microscopic charge arrangements on the in vivo behavior of nanoparticles. Experiments using cultured cells and live mice demonstrate that the microscopic arrangement of surface charges strongly influences nonspecific binding, clearance behavior, and in vivo transport of nanoparticles.
