Description
Reliable manipulation of the interface between 2D nanomaterials and biomolecules represents a current frontier in nanoscience. The ability to resolve the molecular-level structures of these bio-interfaces would provide a fundamental data set that is needed to enable systematic and knowledge-based progress in this area. These structures are challenging to obtain via experiment alone, and molecular simulations offer a complementary approach to address this problem. Compared with graphene, the interface between hexagonal boron nitride, aluminium nitride, gallium nitride and biomolecules is relatively understudied at present [1]. Here, we use Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the electronic properties and optical absorption spectra of amino acids with metal nitride clusters. The optical absorption spectra confirm that the metal nitride clusters are active in the ultraviolet region of electromagnetic radiation.
