Silk-based microparticles for the adsorption of methylene blue: formulations, characterization, adsorption study, in silico molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: ). Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations in water confirmed the docking results and demonstrated the aqueous stability of the fibroin-MB complex. Conclusively, this work not only establishes FNP as a high-performance, eco-friendly adsorbent for MB removal, but also provides mechanistic insights at the molecular level, offering a scientific foundation for the rational design of protein-based adsorbents in future environmental technologies.
