摘要:

采用从头算Hartre-Fock方法(HF)结合力场计算,计算了鸟嘌呤(G)、腺嘌呤(A)、胸腺嘧啶(T)和胞嘧啶(C)与(5,5)单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)的结合能.气相结合能遵循序列G $>$ A $>$ T $>$ C。我们发现,结合能的主要贡献来自纳米管和核碱基之间的范德华(vdW)相互作用。我们将这些结果与核碱基与石墨烯的相互作用进行比较。我们发现,单壁碳纳米管的基地的结合能比石墨烯低得多,但序列保持不变。当我们包括溶剂化能(HF水平的泊松-玻尔兹曼(PB)解算器)的影响时,结合能遵循序列G $>$ T $>$ A $>$ C $>$,这解释了由胸腺嘧啶碱基制成的寡核苷酸与聚(A)和聚(C)相比在水溶液中分散SWNT方面更有效的实验\cite{zheng}。我们还证明了实验上有差分的单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)的核碱基的结合亲和力直接测量的结合强度,使用等温滴定(微)量热法。核碱基的结合序列随胸腺嘧啶(T)$>$腺嘌呤(A)$>$胞嘧啶(C)而变化,与我们的计算一致。

英文摘要:

We have calculated the binding energy of various nucleobases (guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T) and cytosine (C)) with (5,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using ab-initio Hartre-Fock method (HF) together with force field calculations. The gas phase binding energies follow the sequence G $>$ A $>$ T $>$ C. We show that main contribution to binding energy comes from van-der Wall (vdW) interaction between nanotube and nucleobases. We compare these results with the interaction of nucleobases with graphene. We show that the binding energy of bases with SWNTs is much lower than the graphene but the sequence remains same. When we include the effect of solvation energy (Poisson-Boltzman (PB) solver at HF level), the binding energy follow the sequence G $>$ T $>$ A $>$ C $>$, which explains the experiment\cite{zheng} that oligonucleotides made of thymine bases are more effective in dispersing the SWNT in aqueous solution as compared to poly (A) and poly (C). We also demonstrate experimentally that there is differential binding affinity of nucleobases with the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by directly measuring the binding strength using isothermal titration (micro) calorimetry. The binding sequence of the nucleobases varies as thymine (T) $>$ adenine (A) $>$ cytosine (C), in agreement with our calculation.
