Resumen
Pd doped single-walled carbon nanotubes as an enhanced physical transducer with phenylalanine amino acid can be efficiently used as a biocompatible nanoreceptor to detect proteins. DFT/B3LYP was used to calculate the optimized geometries, energies and electron density parameters to determine the stability and reactivity of the nanoreceptor. Among different adsorbed configurations of phenylalanine, the amine and carboxylic acid sites have higher adsorption energies and more stable complexes. With direct strong chemical adsorption of phenylalanine amino acid onto the Pd doped single-walled carbon nanotube, the free active carboxylic acid group of the amino acid can react with free amine groups on the surface of the proteins. More over the π-π stacking interaction between the free aromatic ring of adsorbed phenylalanine amino acid onto the functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube and the aromatic rings of the proteins also contributes to the intelligent detection of proteins. Frontier molecular orbital and molecular electrostatic potential (MPE) surface studies have been employed to investigate the active sites of the nanoreceptor. The effects of different solvents on the structural and electronic properties were investigated. Finally, in order to investigate biological function of the biosensor, docking studies were performed.
