▎ 摘  要

The adsorption and immobilisation of human insulin onto the bio-compatible nanosheets including graphene monoxide, silicon carbide and boron nitride nanosheets were studied by molecular dynamics simulation at the temperature of 310K. After equilibration, heating and 100ns production molecular dynamic runs, it was found that the insulin was adsorbed and immobilised onto the considered surfaces in a native folded state. The structural parameters, including root-mean-square deviation and fluctuation, surface accessible solvent area, radius of gyration (R-g) and the distance between the centre of the mass of immobilised protein and the surface of the considered nanosheets, were measured, analysed and discussed. The energetics of the studied systems such as the interaction energy between protein and nanosheet was also measured and addressed. The discussions were centred on the structural and energetic parameters of the protein and nanosheets, including charge density, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and residue polarity. The results also showed that the active site of C-termini of chain B played an important role in the adsorption process and this could be helpful in the protection of insulin in its smart delivery and release applications.
