Abstract
We present a computational study on the optical absorption properties of some systems of interest in the field of drug delivery. In particular we considered as drug molecules favipiravir (T705, an antiviral molecule) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU, an anticancer molecule) and, on the other hand, pure fullerenes (C24, B12N12, Ga12N12) and doped fullerenes (C23B, CB11N12) are considered as nanocarriers. Some combined configurations between the drug molecules and the carrier nanostructures have been then studied. The optical absorption properties of the above mentioned drug molecules and their carrier nanostructures in the free and bound states are obtained by a TD-DFT method, in gas phase and in aqueous solution. We perform a detailed analysis of the modifications arising in the absorption spectra that take place in some linked configurations between the drug molecules and the carrier nanostructures. These changes could be of importance as an optical fingerprint of the realized drug/carrier link.

[PMID: 35963077 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2022.107752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The influences of cation-π interactions in phycocyanin proteins and their environmental preferences were analyzed. The number of interactions formed by arginine showed to be higher than those formed by the lysine in the cationic group, while histidine is comparatively higher than phenylalanine and N-terminal residue in the π group. Arg-Tyr and Arg-Phe interacting pairs are predominant among the various pairs analyzed. Cation-π interactions are distance-dependent and can be realized above a wider area above the π ring. We analyzed the energy contribution resulting from cation-π interactions using ab initio calculations. The energy contribution resulting from the most frequent cation-π interactions was in the lower range of strong hydrogen bonds. The results showed that, while most of their interaction energies lay ranged from - 2 to - 8 kcal/mol, those energies could be up to -12- 12 kcal/mol. Stabilization centers for these proteins showed that all residues found in cation-π interactions are important in locating one or more of such centers. In the cation-π interacting residues, 54% of the amino acid residues involved in these interactions might be conserved in phycocyanins. From this study, we infer that cation-π forming residues play an important role in the stability of the multiply commercially used phycocyanin proteins and could help structural biologists and medicinal chemists to design better and safer drugs.

Abstract
B3LYP, B97D, and M06-2X density functionals are utilized for probing the effect of decorating X (X = Co, Ti, Sc, or Ca) metals on the sensing performance of an aluminum phosphide nanotube (AlPNT) in detecting the hydrazine (HZ) gas. We predict that the interaction of pristine AlPNT with HZ is physisorption, and our calculated sensing response (SR) of AlPNT is approximately 2.7. The adsorption energy of HZ changes from - 4.6 to - 21.0, - 21.9, - 22.4, and - 23.8 kcal/mol by decorating the Co, Ti, Sc, and Ca metals into the AlPNT surface, respectively. Also, Co, Ti, Sc, and Ca rise the SR to 22.5, 36.8, 50.4, and 89.0, respectively, indicating that by increasing the atomic radius of metals, the sensitivity is more increased. So, we concluded that Ca much more increases the sensitivity of AlPNT toward HZ. Our calculations demonstrate that the electrostatic interaction has the main contribution in the formation of HZ/X decorated AlPNT (X@AlPNT) complexes. The expected recovery time is 22.0 s for the HZ desorption from the Ca@AlPNT at 298 K. Finally, we found that all of the X@AlPNTs have superior sensing performance toward HZ compared to the X@carbon nanotubes.

Abstract
Here, we scrutinize the adsorption of boron trichloride (BCl3) on pure, S-doped, and Cr-doped graphyne by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. BCl3 interacts weakly with pure graphyne, so it cannot be employed as a sensor. Despite the strengthening of interaction through S-doping, we cannot still employ the S-doped sheet as a sensor. Nevertheless, there is a considerable increase in the sensitivity and reactivity of the sheet through substituting the transition metal Cr for the C. There is a reduction in the HOMO-LUMO gap of Cr-doped graphyne from 2.18 to 1.38 eV when BCl3 is adsorbed, thereby increasing the electrical conductivity to a great extent. Hence, it is possible to convert the considerable change in conductivity into an electronic signal, which demonstrates the encouraging nature of Cr-doped graphyne as a sensor to detect BCl3. Additionally, the adsorption process reduces the work function of graphyne to a great extent, which demonstrates that we can also employ it as a work function-type sensor for detecting BCl3.

Abstract
In this study, we have analysed the influence of cation-? interactions on
stability and properties of superoxide dismutase (SOD) active centres. The
number of interactions formed by arginine is higher than lysine in the
cationic group, while histidine is comparatively higher in the ? group. The
energy contribution resulting from most frequent cation-? interactions was
in the lower range of strong hydrogen bonds. The cation-? interactions
involving transition metal ions as cation have energy more negative than
-418.4 kJ mol-1. Stabilization centres for these proteins showed that all
residues involved in cation-? interactions were important in locating one or
more of such centres. The majority of the residues involved in cation-p
interactions were evolutionarily conserved and might have a significant
contribution towards the stability of SOD proteins. The results presented in
this work can be very useful for understanding the contribution of cation-?
interactions to the stability of SOD active canters.

Abstract
Cathinone (CTN), classified as stimulants, is one of the psychoactive drugs. Although the sale of CTN was controlled by international drug laws, it was still sold on the internet, and its overdose caused many deaths worldwide. As chemical sensors, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have drawn attention to be used in various biological molecules. In the current study, the sensing characteristics of the intrinsic SiC monolayer (SiCM) and its Pt-decorated state (Pt@SiCM) were scrutinized toward the CTN drug by utilizing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was illustrated that the SiCM sensing response to CTN is insignificant (~ 10.6 at 298 K) due to the weak interaction with the adsorption energy of -0.25 eV. After the decoration of Pt on the SiCM, it was adsorbed above a hexagonal ring, which formed an η6-Pt half-sandwich and the adsorption energy was -3.62 eV. It was found that the Pt@SiCM strongly adsorbed CTN and the adsorption energy was -1.60 eV. Therefore, Pt-decoration augmented the SiCM sensing response to CTN from 10.3 to 716.6. The recovery time obtained for the CTN desorption from the Pt@SiCM surface was 12.7 s, which was short. It was concluded that Pt-decoration makes the SiCM a favorable candidate for CTN identification.

Abstract
The geometric, electronic and nonlinear properties of exohedral and endohedral single and multiple alkali metal (Li, Na and K) atom doped C24 fullerene are studied. First, the most stable orientations at the most stable spin state are evaluated. Complexes with odd metal atoms are stable at doublet spin state and complexes with even number of metal atoms are stable at singlet spin state. Thermodynamic analysis shows that Li4C24 among all complexes with highest thermodynamic stability has interaction energy of -190.78 kcal mol-1. The energy gaps (GH-L) are fairly reduced in single and multi-doped cages, and the lowest energy gap is observed for K4C24 complex. NBO analysis is performed to validate the charge transfer from alkali metal toward C24. The largest amount of charge (0.95 |e|) transfer is monitored in exohedral K2C24 complex where the highest charge transfer is for potassium (K) metal. Total density of states (TDOS) spectra of doped complexes justify the involvement of alkali metals and nanocage in new HOMO formation for the excess electrons. First hyperpolarizability is descriptor of NLO properties of single and multi-doped complexes are calculated. It is observed that doping of alkali metal atoms (Li, Na and K) greatly enhances the first hyperpolarizability. Among all the complexes of C24, Na3C24 shows the highest hyperpolarizability value of 2.74 × 105 au. The results of this study are a guideline for the computational designing of highly efficient and thermodynamically stable complexes for the optical and optoelectronic technologies.

Abstract
With the depleting resources of energy and increasing demand, the need for sustainable and renewable energy resources has become the need of the hour. The low storage capacity of current materials for Na/K ion batteries has led to the quest to identify suitable materials for an electrode with excellent electrochemical properties. In the present work, a systematic theoretical investigation of C-silicyne, a planar 2-dimensional hexagonal lattice, is performed to establish the geometric and thermal properties and stability. The electronic properties illustrate the metallic nature of C-silicyne, which is conserved even after the effective adsorption of Na/K ions on the surface of the monolayer. For the practical functionality, the storage capacity of C-silicyne is evaluated as 591 mA h g-1 for Na ions and 443 mA h g-1 for K ions. Moreover, the low diffusion barriers for the Na (0.57 eV) and K (0.34 eV) ions display their feasible movement across the monolayer as the electrochemical cycle progresses. The average working voltage is found to lie in the range of 0.1-1 V, which is required for the effective functioning of the anode in a Na/K ion battery. These results demonstrate the potential of C-silicyne as a material for the anode in Na/K ion batteries.

Abstract
Ammonia N-H bond cleavage at metal-free substrates has attracted great attention because of its industrial importance. Here, we investigate the dissociative adsorption of ammonia onto the surface of a B36 borophene sheet by means of density functional theory calculations. We show that the N-H bond may be broken at the edges of B36 even at room temperature, regarding the small energy barrier of 14.1-19.3 kcal mol(-1) at different levels of theory, and more negative Gibbs free energy change. Unlike basis set size, the kind of exchange correlation functional significantly affects the electronic properties of the studied systems. Also, by increasing the percentage of Hartree Fock (HF) exchange of density functionals, the activation and adsorption energies are lowered. A linear relationship between the highest occupied molecular orbital or lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of B36 borophene and the %HF exchange of functionals is predicted. Our work reveals that pure whole boron nanosheets may be promising metal-free materials in N-H bond cleavage, which would raise the potential application of these sheets.

Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based Li batteries have attracted wide attention because of their high capacity, high cyclability and high energy density and are believed to be one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage systems. In CNT-based Li batteries, the main interaction between the Li(+) ions and the CNT is the cation-π interaction. However, up to now, it is still not clear how this interaction affects the storage characteristics of CNT-based Li batteries. Here, using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we report a highly favorable impact of cation-π interactions on the cell voltage of CNT-based Li batteries. Considering both Li(+)-π interaction and Li-π interaction, we show that cell voltage enhances with the increase of the CNT diameter. In addition, when the Li(+) ion adsorbs on the external wall, the cell voltage is larger than that when it adsorbs on the internal wall. This suggests that CNTs with a large diameter and a low array density are more advantageous to enhance storage performance of CNT-based Li batteries. Compared with Li(+) ions on the (4,4) CNT internal wall, the cell voltage of Li(+) on the (10,10) CNT external wall is 0.55 V higher, which indicates an improvement of about 38%. These results will be helpful for the design of more efficient CNT-based Li batteries.

Abstract
In this work, we have analyzed the influence of cation-π interactions to the stability of Sm/LSm assemblies and their environmental preferences. The number of interactions formed by arginine is higher than lysine in the cationic group, while histidine is comparatively higher than phenylalanine and tyrosine in the π group. Arg-Tyr interactions are predominant among the various pairs analyzed. The furcation level of multiple cation-π interactions is much higher than that of single cation-π interactions in Sm/LSm interfaces. We have found hot spot residues forming cation-π interactions, and hot spot composition is similar for all aromatic residues. The Arg-Phe pair has the strongest interaction energy of -8.81 kcal mol(-1) among all the possible pairs of amino acids. The extent of burial of the residue side-chain correlates with the ΔΔG of binding for residues in the core and also for hot spot residues cation-π bonded across the interface. Secondary structure of the cation-π residues shows that Arg and Lys preferred to be in strand. Among the π residues, His prefers to be in helix, Phe prefers to be in turn, and Tyr prefers to be in strand. Stabilization centers for these proteins showed that all the five residues found in cation-π interactions are important in locating one or more of such centers. More than 50 % of the cation-π interacting residues are highly conserved. It is likely that the cation-π interactions contribute significantly to the overall stability of Sm/LSm proteins.

Abstract
The functionalization of pristine and Stone-Wales defected BC3 nanosheets with a pyrene molecule was investigated using density functional theory. Frontier molecular analysis shows that the main interaction is π-π stacking, releasing energies in the range of 143.6 to 169.1 kJ mol(-1). We predicted that after the functionalization process, the electrical conductance of the pristine sheet may be increased. Also, it modifies the work function of the pristine sheet and, as a consequence, its field-emission current densities may significantly enhance. However, the pyrene functionalization results in little change in the electronic properties of the defected sheet.

Abstract
We investigated CO adsorption on the pristine, Stone-Wales (SW) defected, Al- and Si- doped graphenes by using density functional calculations in terms of geometric, energetic and electronic properties. It was found that CO molecule is weakly adsorbed on the pristine and SW defected graphenes and their electronic properties were slightly changed. The Al- and Si- doped graphenes show high reactivity toward CO, so calculated adoption energies are about -11.40 and -13.75 kcal mol(-1) in the most favorable states. It was found that, among all the structures, the electronic properties of Al-doped graphene are strongly sensitive to the presence of CO molecule. We demonstrate the existence of a large Eg opening of 0.87 eV in graphene which is induced by Al-doping and CO adsorption.

Abstract
Using density functional theory calculations, we investigated properties of a functionalized BC₂N nanotube with NH₃ and five other NH₂-X molecules in which one of the hydrogen atoms of NH₃ is substituted by X = -CH₃, -CH₂CH₃, -COOH, -CH₂COOH and -CH₂CN functional groups. It was found that NH₃ can be preferentially adsorbed on top of the boron atom, with adsorption energy of -12.0 kcal mol(-1). The trend of adsorption-energy change can be correlated with the trend of relative electron-withdrawing or -donating capability of the functional groups. The adsorption energies are calculated to be in the range of -1.8 to -14.2 kcal mol(-1), and their relative magnitude order is found as follows: H₂N(CH₂CH₃) > H₂N(CH₃) > NH₃ > H2N(CH₂COOH) > H2N(CH₂CN) > H₂N(COOH). Overall, the functionalization of BC₂N nanotube with the amino groups results in little change in its electronic properties. The preservation of electronic properties of BC₂N coupled with the enhancement of solubility renders their chemical modification with either NH₃ or amino functional groups to be a way for the purification of BC₂N nanotubes.
