Exploring the biointerfaces: investigation of nano-montmorillonite clay, and its interaction with unnatural amino acids.

We investigated the interaction between biomimetic Fe and Mg co-doped montmorillonite nanoclay and eleven unnatural amino acids. Employing three different functionals (PBE-GGA, PBE-GGA + U, and HSE06), we examined the clay's structural, electronic, and magnetic properties. Our results revealed the necessity of using PBE-GGA + U with ≥ 4 eV to accurately describe key clay properties.

The incidence and trends of laryngeal malignancies in Sri Lanka from 2001 to 2019: a Joinpoint analysis of the national cancer database.
