Abstract

Studying the interaction of inorganic systems with organic ones is a highly important avenue for finding new drugs and treatment methods. Tumor cells show an increased demand for amino acids due to their rapid proliferation; thus, targeting their metabolism is becoming a potential oncological therapeutic strategy. One of the inorganic materials that show antitumor properties is titanium dioxide, while its doping was found to enhance interactions with biological systems. Thus, in this study, we investigated the energy landscape of glutamine (L), an amino acid, on pristine and doped TiO surfaces. We first locally optimized 2D-slab structures of pristine and Au/Ag/Cu-doped anatase (001 and 101 surfaces) and similarly optimized a single molecule of glutamine in vacuum. Next, we placed the pre-optimized glutamine molecule in various orientations and on a variety of locations onto the relaxed substrate surfaces (in vacuum) and performed ab initio relaxations of the molecule on the substrate slabs. We employed the DFT method with a GGA-PBE functional implemented in the Quantum Espresso code. Comparisons of the optimized conformations and electronic structures of the amino acid in vacuum and on the surfaces yield useful insights into various biological processes.

摘要

研究无机系统与有机系统的相互作用是寻找新药和治疗方法的一条非常重要的途径。肿瘤细胞由于快速增殖而对氨基酸的需求增加;因此,针对其代谢进行靶向治疗正成为一种潜在的肿瘤治疗策略。具有抗肿瘤特性的无机材料之一是二氧化钛,而其掺杂被发现可增强与生物系统的相互作用。因此,在本研究中,我们研究了氨基酸谷氨酰胺(L)在原始和掺杂的TiO表面上的能量景观。我们首先对原始和金/银/铜掺杂的锐钛矿(001和101表面)的二维平板结构进行局部优化,并在真空中类似地优化单个谷氨酰胺分子。接下来,我们将预先优化的谷氨酰胺分子以各种取向放置在松弛的衬底表面(真空中)的各种位置上,并对衬底平板上的分子进行从头算松弛。我们采用了在Quantum Espresso代码中实现的具有GGA-PBE泛函的DFT方法。对真空中和表面上氨基酸的优化构象和电子结构进行比较,有助于深入了解各种生物过程。
