Using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, the interactions between AA-modified graphene and the selected drugs were thoroughly investigated. Various amino acids—alanine, cysteine, glycine, tryptophan, and tyrosine—were anchored to the graphene surface, with tryptophan-modified graphene (Trp-GR) exhibiting the strongest drug binding. DFT calculations revealed that the adsorption of HU and TG onto AA-GR surfaces is exothermic and spontaneous, with Trp-GR displaying the highest adsorption energy (−31.83 kcal/mol) and the most favorable thermodynamic properties. The calculated Gibbs free energy (ΔG) values for both drugs were negative, confirming the stability of the complexes. MD simulations further demonstrated the stability and dynamic behavior of the drug–nanocarrier complexes in aqueous environments, highlighting the suitability of AA-GR as a potential drug delivery system. The results also show that Trp-GR can adsorb up to five TG molecules, with efficient and rapid drug desorption at physiological temperatures, making it an ideal candidate for controlled drug release. This work paves the way for the development of amino acid-modified graphene as a promising platform for targeted anticancer drug delivery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":397,"journal":{"name":"Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 101534"},"PeriodicalIF":5.45,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144885789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study looks into flow concerns such as convection, hybrid nanofluid properties, and the applied magnetic field.

Better heat transfer is obtained when hybrid nanoparticles are added to base liquid as opposed to base fluid and nanofluid alone, according to simulations for different physical parameters in the model.

Because of this, the World health organization (WHO) fixed the maximum allowed limit of Cd⁺² in drinking water or industrial wastewater is 3.0 µgL⁻¹. To accurately detect even lower concentration of Cd⁺², a reliable and easy-to-use method was developed by our group. Here in this work, simple and visual detection was proposed to detect Cd²⁺ ions by using 6-Mercaptopyridine-3-carboxylic acid functionalized gold nanoparticles (MPyC-AuNPs). The prepared MPyC-AuNPs were characterized by UV–visible spectrometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak of MPyC-AuNPs was observed at 524 nm, and the aggregation of MPyC-AuNPs leads to spectral change from 524 nm to 677 nm. The aggregation is due to the formation of the metal ligand coordination between MPyC-AuNPs and Cd²⁺ ions. Moreover, MPyC-AuNPs based sensor is highly selective for the detection of Cd²⁺ and giving response only for Cd²⁺ among tested metal ions. Under the optimal conditions, a good linear relationship (R² = 0.9956) was observed between the ratio of the extinction at 680 nm to that at 524 nm and the concentration of Cd²⁺ over the range of 1 µM - 100 µM. The detection limit was found to be 5.4 × 10⁻⁷µM, which is equal to 0.0607µgL⁻¹ lesser than the allowed limit by WHO.
