In recent years, significant progress has been made in the subject of nanotechnology, with a range of methods developed to synthesize precise-sized and shaped nanoparticles according to particular requirements. Often, the nanoparticles are created by employing dangerous reducing chemicals to reduce metal ions into uncharged nanoparticles. Green synthesis or biological approaches have been used recently to circumvent this issue because biological techniques are simple, inexpensive, safe, clean, and extremely productive. Nowadays, much research is being conducted on how different kinds of nanoparticles connect to proteins and nucleic acids using molecular docking models. Therefore, this review discusses the most recent advancements in molecular docking capacity to predict the interactions between various nanoparticles (NPs), such as ZnO, CuO, Ag, Au, and FeO and biological macromolecules.
近年来,纳米技术领域取得了重大进展,开发了多种方法来根据特定要求合成精确尺寸和形状的纳米粒子。通常,通过使用危险的还原剂将金属离子还原成不带电荷的纳米粒子来制备纳米粒子。最近,绿色合成或生物方法已被用于解决这个问题,因为生物技术简单、廉价、安全、清洁且非常高效。如今,人们正在研究如何使用分子对接模型将不同种类的纳米粒子与蛋白质和核酸结合。因此,本文综述了分子对接能力的最新进展,以预测各种纳米粒子(如 ZnO、CuO、Ag、Au 和 FeO)与生物大分子之间的相互作用。
