摘要:

我们报告了我们基于密度泛函理论对核酸碱基分子腺嘌呤(A)、胞嘧啶(C)、鸟嘌呤(G)、胸腺嘧啶(T)和尿嘧啶(U)与单壁碳纳米管(CNT)相互作用的第一性原理研究结果。具体而言,重点是物理吸附的基础分子上的外壁(5,0)金属CNT拥有一个最小的直径可能。与大直径的碳纳米管相比,发现在高曲率的情况下,物理吸附能降低。基础分子表现出显着不同的相互作用强度,和计算的结合能遵循的层次G > A > T > C > U,这似乎是独立的管曲率。基础分子和CNT之间的相互作用中的稳定因素由分子极化率主导,该分子极化率允许在它们之间诱导弱吸引分散力。本研究提供了一个更好的理解脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)或核糖核酸(RNA)中的碱基序列对它们与不同直径的碳纳米管的相互作用的作用。

英文摘要:

We report the results of our first-principles study based on density functional theory on the interaction of the nucleic acid base molecules adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T), and uracil (U), with a single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT). Specifically, the focus is on the physisorption of base molecules on the outer wall of a (5,0) metallic CNT possessing one of the smallest diameters possible. Compared to CNTs with large diameters, the physisorption energy is found to be reduced in the high-curvature case. The base molecules exhibit significantly different interaction strengths, and the calculated binding energies follow the hierarchy G > A > T > C > U, which appears to be independent of the tube curvature. The stabilizing factor in the interaction between the base molecule and CNT is dominated by the molecular polarizability that allows a weakly attractive dispersion force to be induced between them. The present study provides an improved understanding of the role of the base sequence in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) on their interactions with carbon nanotubes of varying diameters.
