Rev is an important HIV-1 regulatory protein that binds the Rev responsive element (RRE) within the env gene of HIV-1 RNA genome; the binding of Rev to RRE is essential for the expression of the structural genes, gag-pol and env, and for HIV replication. Here we report a quantum-dot (QD)-based nanosensor that can be used in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays of RRE IIB RNA-Rev peptide interactions. In comparison with conventional fluorescent dye-based methods, this QD-based nan ...[more]
