Antimicrobial Activity, DFT Calculations, and Molecular Docking of Dialdehyde Cellulose/Graphene Oxide Film Against Covid-19

Abstract

Development of the oxidation process of cellulose has occurred to decrease the reaction time. Dialdehyd cellulose (DAC) has synthesized via periodate oxidation under microwave irradiation and Graphen oxide (GO) was synthesized by modified Hummer method. A new composite of DAC/GO has prepared from GO and DAC. The structure and morphology of DAC, GO and DAC/GO composite were evaluated via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties of DAC and DAC/GO were investigated. Additionally, the computational calculations of cellulose, DAC and GO by DFT/B3LYP/6-31G (d) basis sets were investigated. DAC/GO composite demonstrated specific antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The molecular docking of DAC shows binding energy interaction (− 4.1, − 4.0, and − 4.0) Kcal/mol against microbial protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as Gram-negative bacteria PDB (2W7Q), and Staphylococcus aureus as Gram-positive bacteria PDB (1BQB) as well as Covid-19 PDB (7BZ5) respectively. DAC shows drug-like behavior when it is compared with binding energy interaction of Hydroxychloroquine against Covid-19, as a standard drug.

Fabrication of chitosan-coated mixed spinel ferrite integrated with graphene oxide (GO) for magnetic extraction of viral RNA for potential detection of SARS-CoV-2

“…Future studies regarding this work include experimental proof to check the followings: (1) affinity of CHLZFO-GO MNC with SARS-CoV-2 RNA, estimated viral extraction time, and efficiency of the CHLZFO-GO-assisted RT-PCR. Besides, a computational study (like molecular docking) can be also conducted to reveal the possible interactions between SARS-CoV-2 RNA and CHLZFO-GO MNC, since it has been done with various MNPs and MNCs against COVID-19 [ 71 , 72 ]. The future of magnetic separation protocol along with many factors also depends on the separator design.…”

“…The DFT/B3LYP method is a widely used method for theoretical calculations including geometry optimization, stability, reactivity, and molecular orbital descriptors HOMO and LUMO. − ,− The geometry-optimized parameters with the B3LYP method are close to single XRD data in many reported studies. High levels of theory are available in Gaussian such as CCSD­(T), G3, G4, etc., but they are computationally more expensive.…”
