Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Trapped</bold>: Enzymes (blue in picture) were encapsulated into CdTe quantum dot (QD) hydrogels during the self‐assembly of CdTe QDs (orange) in phosphate buffer solution. The as‐prepared enzyme‐encapsulating QD hydrogel incorporating both a biocatalysis unit and a fluorescence signaling unit was further explored as a multifunctional platform in the development of optical biosensors.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1p9wb72v" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
