摘要

This work deals with first-principles and in silico studies of graphene oxide-based whole-cell selective aptamers for cancer diagnostics utilising a tunable-surface strategy. Herein, graphene oxide (GO) was constructed as a surface-based model with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) covalently grafted as an “on/off”-switch in triggering interactions with the cancer-cell protein around its lower critical solution temperature. The atomic building blocks of the aptamer and the PNIPAM adsorbed onto the GO was investigated at the density functional theory (DFT) level. The presence of the monomer of PNIPAM stabilised the system’s π-π interaction between GO and its nucleobases as confirmed by higher bandgap energy, satisfying the eigenvalues of the single-point energy observed rather than the nucleobase and the GO complex independently. The unaltered geometrical structures of the surface emphasise the physisorption type interaction between the nucleobase and the GO/NIPAM surface. The docking result for the aptamer and the protein, highlighted the behavior of the PNIPAM-graft-GO  is exhibiting globular and extended conformations, further supported by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. These studies enabled a better understanding of the thermal responsive behavior of the polymer-enhanced GO complex for whole-cell protein interactions through computational methods.
