Heteroatoms chemical tailoring of aluminum nitrite nanotubes as biosensors for 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (a biomarker for carcinoid tumors): insights from a computational study

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the properties of aluminum nitrite nanotubes (AlNNT) encapsulated with phosphorus (P@AlNNT), sulphur (S@AlNNT), and silicon (Si@AlNNT) heteroatoms for use as biosensors for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA).
