Abstract:
In this study, we investigated the binding of Clonidine Drug (C9H9Cl2N3) with zigzag single walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) (5, 0) and a length of 5ᵒA by theoretical methods of theory (NMR,NBO, HOMO- LUMO Gap energy,…calculations) using Gaussian 09 software package. Then, Simulation was done in MM+, AMBER and OPLS force fields by Monte Carlo method in HyperChem. Three important energy parameters – Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy and Total Energy-calculated in five different simulating temperatures (308, 310, 312, 314 and 316 Kelvin) were used for computation and good results were obtained.
