Interactions between Cyt c and silver nanoclusters

doi:10.7523/j.issn.2095-6134.2020.06.017

Abstract

Abstract: Molecular dynamics simulation and path channel analysis were performed to study the main adsorption driving force, conformational change, and electron transfer coupling matrix element of cytochrome c (Cyt c) on the surface of silver nanoclusters. The results show that the surface charge of silver nanoclusters is crucial for electron transfer. The uncharged silver nanoclusters facilitate the adsorption of Cyt c and are prone to electron transfer reactions.

Key words: cytochrome c, silver nanoclusters, coupling matrix element
