Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube by the Amino Acid Tryptophan: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Targeted drug delivery systems offer significant potential for increasing therapeutic efficacy and reducing toxicity. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as revolutionary nanocarriers that enable precise drug control. This study uses Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to discover a new nanocarrier. The results show that the functionalization of Carbon nanotubes with Tryptophan (TRP) significantly improves the solubility of Carbon nanotubes in aqueous environments, reduces its toxicity, and increases the drug interaction through the agent.
