On the surface of a quantum dot (QD) , maltose‐binding protein (MBP, white and yellow in Figure) labeled with a cyanine dye (red) self‐assembles, resulting in F?rster resonance energy transfer between the acceptor dye and the QD donor. Upon binding maltose, MBP undergoes a conformational change (white ⇌ yellow), causing concentration‐dependent photoluminescence changes.
