A protonated L-cysteine adsorption on gold surface
- The adsorption of protonated L-cysteine onto Au(111) surface was studied via molecular dynamics method. The detailed examination of trajectories reveals that a couple of picoseconds need to be strongly adsorbed at the gold surface via L-cysteine's sulfur and oxygen atoms. The average distances of L-cysteine's adsorbed sulfur and oxygen from gold plane are-2.7 angstrom and-3.2 angstrom, correspondingly. We found that the adsorption of L-cysteine takes place preferentially at bridge site with possibility of-82%. Discussing the conformation features of protonated L-cysteine, we consider that the most stable conformation of protonated L-cysteine is "reverse boat" position, where sulfur and oxygen pointed down to the gold surface, while the amino group is far from the gold surface.
