Thermodynamic investigations using molecular dynamics simulations with potential of mean force calculations for cardiotoxin protein adsorption on mixed self-assembled monolayers.
Understanding protein adsorption onto solid surfaces is of critical importance in the field of bioengineering, especially for applications such as medical implants, diagnostic biosensors, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. This study proposed the use of molecular dynamics simulations with potential of mean force (PMF) calculations to identify and characterize the mechanisms of adsor...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics studies of straight-chain alkanes diffusion in SiO2 ceramic versus Bosanquet formula
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to calculate self-diffusion coefficients (Di ) and heats of adsorption for ethane, propane and n-butane. The simulations were done in temperature range of 300-525 K for various concentrations inside the pores of silicalite type zeolite. The calculated values of self-diffusion coefficients and heats of adsorption resulted from the current wo...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of the enhancement of cobra cardiotoxin and E6 protein binding on mixed self-assembled monolayer molecules.
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed on n-alkinethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and their mixture on a gold surface so that the orientations of the binding of cobra cardiotoxin and E6 protein molecules can be selected using the mixing ratio of CH3-terminated SAMs with different chain lengths. The simulations suggest that a SAM surface with different mixing ratios may provide a po...
متن کاملInfluence of Salt and pH on the Adsorption of Fibrinogen and Lysozyme to Self-Assembled Monolayers Using a Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor
This work examines protein adsorption on surfaces in an attempt to provide a fundamental understanding of the molecular-level mechanism for protein interactions with biomaterials. Carboxylic acid, amine, and hydroxyl terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are used to model negatively, positively, and hydrophilic/neutrally charged surfaces, respectively. The adsorption of fibrinogen and lys...
متن کاملMixed Self-assembled Monolayers of Rigid Biphenyl Thiols: Impact of Solvent and Dipole Moment
The formation of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of different 4′-substituted-4-mercaptobiphenyl (with X ) CH3, CF3, and SCH3) on gold, from different solvents, has been investigated. Monolayer thickness values, estimated by ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, and external reflection absorption infrared (ERFTIR) spectroscopy confirms that >90% of the monolayer is formed after 1 h of...
