Abstract: Attraction between the polycyclic aromatic surface elements of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the aromaticnucleotides of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) leads to reversible adsorption (physisorption) between the two, aphenomenon related to hybridization. We propose a Hamiltonian formulation for the zipper model that accountsfor the DNA-CNT interactions and allows for the processing of experimental data, which has awaited an availabletheory for a decade.Keywords: Carbon nanotubes, desoxyribonucleic acid, physisorptionPublished in RUNG: 30.06.2020; Views: 3516; Downloads: 0This document has many files!
