“…Biomolecules range from proteins, aptamers, vitamins, and lipids to carbohydrates. − Inside proteins, biomarkers like cardiac troponins (cTn) have been used for biosensing toward the detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a heart condition considered the main cause of death among ischemic heart diseases. − cTn contains three subunits: T, I, and C which interact with tropomyosin to conform the troponin–tropomyosin complex located on the actin filament. − Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) rises quickly from myocardial cells during the onset of symptoms and following cell death and gives the possibility of identifying signs of this condition . cTnI is composed of 10 amino acids, 4 essential and 6 nonessential, that are ordered in a specific alignment as shown in Figure .…”

Density functional theory calculations have been used to elucidate structural parameters of pristine cardiac Troponin I and its interaction with carbon nanomaterials. In this case, zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets were selected. Troponin I interacted horizontally (leusine terminal) and vertically (lysine terminal) with the nanomaterials. Cohesion and binding energies, band gaps, and charge transfer for the systems were obtained. Cohesion for troponin I supported on graphene and single-walled carbon nanotube in the horizontal position was found to be the most viable system. Binding for the interaction between troponin I and a nanotube in the horizontal position was found to be the most stable with a value of 0.002 eV that increases to 0.004 eV with a van der Waals correction. Furthermore, the density of states exhibits an improvement in band gap for graphene sheets, and finally, a higher charge transfer was reported for troponin I in its horizontal form supported on a zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube.
