Abstract

Through molecular dynamic simulations, we have investigated the adsorption behavior of cytochrome c on graphene oxide. Results indicate that graphene oxide has a great binding affinity towards cytochrome c. Analyses of root mean square deviation and gyration radius show that there is a large structural damage occurring in system P3 among all the systems. Our study shows that graphene oxide has the ability to deteriorate the native structure of cytochrome c.
