Predicted Adsorption Affinity for Enteric Microbial Metabolites to Metal and Carbon Nanomaterials.

Ingested nanomaterials are exposed to many metabolites that are produced, modified, or regulated by members of the enteric microbiota. The adsorption of these metabolites potentially affects the identity, fate, and biodistribution of nanomaterials passing the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we explore these interactions using in silico methods, focusing on a concise overview of 170 unique enteric microbial metabolites which we compiled from the literature.
