Abstract
The potential of mean constraint force approach, in partnership with atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, is used to calculate the change in free energy upon adsorption of amino acid side chain analogues at the aqueous rutile titania (110) interface. Our results indicate that both positively charged and negatively charged moieties have favorable free energy of binding to the titania surface. Stable contact, mediated via the first two solvent layers at the interface, is also indicated for the charged adsorbates. Hydrophobic adsorbates showed no appreciable binding to the titania surface. In contrast, the binding for our serine analogue (methanol) features a slight possibility to bind via hydrogen bonding to the titania surface. Our calculated results indicate very good agreement with available experimental data. In partnership with other information regarding peptide conformation and intrapeptide interactions, our findings should be helpful in building design principles for peptide sequences with predictable and controllable binding to titania.
