Question

Amino acid derived highly luminescent, heteroatom-doped carbon dots for label-free detection of cd2+/fe3+, cell imaging and enhanced antibacterial activity

Answer 1

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine and carboxyl functional groups, along with a side chain specific to each amino acid. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, although other elements are found in the side chains of certain amino acids.
