Özet
To investigate carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as gene delivery vehicles, it is essential to characterize their interactions with mRNA. Messenger RNA is a powerful tool for controlling the expression of genes in biomedical applications. In the present report, we study the interactions of single-walled CNT with three codons of mRNA(UGC,GAC,CAG) by using MM, AM1,HF and DFT (B3LYP) methods with STO-3G and 3-21G basis sets in gas phase. To estimate the stability of Nanotubes- mRNA complexes total energy of the systems were determined. The varieties of obtained energy data suggest the relation between the stability of complexes as this order: CAG > GAC > UGC. According to the ability of NMR in providing detailed information about the structure and chemical environment of molecules, this technique has been carried out by supposing gauge-included atomic orbital (GIAO). Considering on the calculated results …
