Abstract
Absorption of proteins onto carbon nanotubes is important part of biomedical engineering because it is helpful to fabricate stable, compatible and sensitive scaffold, which is the basic step of fabricating biosensors. Many previous researches show that most of the proteins can be absorbed on surface of carbon nanotube. However, the mechanism of this absorption is not specific clear. In this lecture, mechanism of protein absorbed on nanotube will be explained by molecular dynamics(MD) using NAMD and VMD software package.
