Abstract:
Encapsulating and protecting dopamine from oxidation is a difficult challenge. We propose to use SU-101 BioMOF as a dopamine host, where we study different adsorption scenarios by a robust computational approach. Our results show that dopamine encapsulation is feasible with the formation of non-covalent interactions within the SU-101 pores. These computational results have been corroborated experimentally.
