使用量子力学密度泛函理论(DFT)模拟分析了银离子(Ag(I))和半胱氨酸(Cysteine)分子在碱性水溶液中的反应行为.研究发现,银离子与半胱氨酸上的巯基优先配位;在银/半胱氨酸(Ag(I)/Cysteine)螺旋纳米带生长过程中,氧起到了关键的作用,它使半胱氨酸部分氧化,释放了部分银离子配位位置,促成了Ag-S(R)链的成长,为后续螺旋纳米带生长奠定了基础.
Density functional theory simulations were used to analyze the action of Ag(I) ions and cysteine in alkaline solution. It was found that Ag(I) ions coordinate to the thiol groups of cysteine, and oxygen plays a key role in the growth of Ag(I)/Cysteine helical nanobelts. Oxygen can oxidize the thiol groups and free some of the coordination positions of Ag(I). This results in the growth of Ag-S(R) chains, and the subsequent growth of Ag(I)/Cysteine helical nanobelts. This research method may be useful when it is applied to solving other similar problems.
