1. Introduction
Recently,graphene/graphene oxide(GO)-based materials have been employed for the development of DNA biosensors and are widely used in genetics,clinical medicine,pathology,and many other fields.[19–23]These applications are related to the interaction between graphene/GO and DNA.[24–26]However, most researches focused on the interaction between nucleic acid bases and graphene,[27–30]the interaction of backbone phosphate groups are ignored. As an important component of DNA/RNA backbone,phosphate groups played important roles in biochemistry.[31]In the backbone of DNA/RNA,phosphoric group links two nucleotides and still ionized as monovalent anion. At the termini of DNA/RNA, phosphoric group is bivalent anion.[32]Thus,it is necessary to investigate the interaction between phosphate groups with different valence and graphene from the molecular level to provide assistance for the design and application of graphene-based DNA biosensor. Methyl phosphate[33]can be regarded as a simple analog of phosphate moieties in DNA/RNA to research the interaction between multivalent anions and the electron-rich graphene.
2. Methods
where Eanion@G,EG,and Eanionare the total energy of the anion adsorption on a graphene flake, the isolated anion, and a graphene flake,respectively. For different anions,the adsorption energies, average nearest oxygen–carbon distances, and transfer Mullikan charges are shown in Table 1.
