Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Accurate detection of dopamine (DA) is crucial for diagnosing neurological diseases.
  • Developing rapid and effective biosensors is a significant research area.
  • Graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (Cs) are promising materials for biosensor development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To computationally investigate the interaction between graphene oxide functionalized with chitosan (GO-Cs) and dopamine (DA).
  • To assess the stability and electronic properties of the GO-Cs composite for potential biosensing applications.
  • To validate the feasibility of using GO-Cs as a real-time optical biosensor for DA detection.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP/LANL2DZ model for computational analysis.
  • Studied the physical and electronic properties of the GO-Cs and GO-Cs-DA interactions.
  • Analyzed molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) maps to understand interaction mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • GO functionalized with Cs (GO-Cs) demonstrated enhanced stability and reactivity.
  • The addition of DA to GO-Cs maintained structural stability and reactivity, indicating a strong interaction.
  • MESP calculations revealed increased electron clouds at the terminals of GO-Cs upon interaction, enhancing DA binding.
  • Computational findings align with experimental results, supporting the sensor's feasibility.

Conclusions:

  • The GO-Cs composite exhibits favorable stability and reactivity for dopamine detection.
  • The computational model provides strong evidence for the energetically preferred interaction between GO-Cs and DA.
  • The study supports the practical application of GO-Cs as a viable and effective dopamine biosensor.
