Fluorescent Probes Quantum dots (QDs) conjugated with biomolecules are expected to be used in biolabeling, bioimaging, or other applications in vivo. In their Full Paper on page 1349 ff., Mei‐Xia Zhao, Chao‐Jie Wang et al. report good‐quality CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with multicolor emission properties. The prepared amino acid‐modified β‐cyclodextrin (CD)‐coated green CdSe QDs were monodispersive and uniform, and displayed excellent fluorescent properties (see the Back Cover). Green CdSe QDs incubated in HepG2 cells were capable of locating in the cytoplasm of cells, and this indicates that the QDs could be useful for tracking cells and intracellular processes.
