Abstract
In this thesis we use molecular modeling methods to analyze pyrroloquinoline-quinone glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) enzyme with respect to its potential use as an enzymatic biofuel cell when complexed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Computer experiments in the form of molecular dynamics simulations are used as the principal investigative method. We run simulations using GROMACS package to determine the viability of usage of PQQ-GDH-SWCNT complex as a biofuel cell platform. Our analysis and subsequent discussion of results generated by in silico experiments point to the fact that this complex retains its stability and biological activity after solvation. This conclusion is in agreement with previously done experimental inquiries and it garners further research using computer simulations. Lastly, we propose and outline several concrete avenues of approach to gain more reliable insight about the feasibility of using PQQ-GDH-SWCNT as a biofuel cell using subsequent molecular dynamics simulations.
Abstract (croatian)
U ovom radu koristimo metode moleuklarnog modeliranja kako bi analizirali enzim pirokinolin-kinon-ovisnu glukozu dehidrogenazu (PQQ-GDH) u kontekstu njegove potencijalne primjene u obliku enzimatske biogorivne ćelije kada je uparen s jednozidnim ugljikovim nanocijevima (SWCNT). Računalni eksperimenti u obliku simulacija molekularne dinamike su bili glavna istraživačka metoda. GROMACS je korišten kako bi odredili da li je PQQ-GDH-SWCNT kompleks potencijalna platforma za enzimatsku biogorivnu ćeliju. Naša analiza i diskusija rezultata generiranih in silico eksperimentima ukazuju na činjenicu da ovaj kompleks zadržava svoju stabilnost i biološku aktivnost nakon solvacije. Ovaj zaključak je u skladu s prethodnim eksperimentalnim istraživanjima i motivira daljnje ispitivanje korištenjem računalnih simulacija. Naposljetku, predlažemo i opisujemo nekoliko istraživačkih pristupa kako bi dobili kvalitetniji uvid o isplativosti korištenja PQQ-GDH-SWCNT kao biogorivne ćelije pomoću simulacija molekularnom dinamikom.
