We explore the possibilities of quantifying the interaction of both adenine and thymine with non-functionalized, anionic citrate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Following the plasmon absorbance band's red shifts, dependent of the AuNPs aggregation state, apparent binding free energies of the system are obtained for the sum of the two processes (nucleobase interaction plus nanoparticle aggregation). A deconvolution procedure confirms those results. Those apparent binding free energies are, in both cases, in good agreement with previous studies indicating an increased reactivity for adenine. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out both to model the structures and to theoretically support and help understand the observed experimental stability of adenine as compared to thymine over gold nanoparticles. Theoretical results indicate the N atom in the amino group of adenine adopts a pyramidal sp3 hybridization character, stabilizing the interaction with Au as compared to thymine.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
