Highlights: [•] We provide an overview of the diverse chemistries that are used for preparing quantum dot bioconjugates. [•] Polyhistidine-mediated metal-affinity coordination to QD surfaces is described in detail. [•] A variety of modular, chemoselective ligation chemistries that can be applied to QD bioconjugation are described. [•] Applications incorporating various QD-bioconjugates assembled using different chemistries are included. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
