Article Synopsis
- The study explores how three antibiotics (levofloxacin, tetracycline, and benzylpenicillin) adsorb onto silver nanoparticles using techniques like surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy.
- The researchers used DFT calculations to create theoretical models of the antibiotics for analyzing their vibrational properties and identifying how they bind to the nanoparticles.
- The findings indicate the specific functional groups involved in the adsorption for each antibiotic: levofloxacin binds via its carboxylate group, tetracycline through its carbonyl group, and benzylpenicillin via carbonyl moieties from both its carboxylate and amide structures.
