Theoretical study of the binding mechanism between anticancerous drug mercaptopurine and gold nanoparticles using a cluster model

Context Mercaptopurine is an effective anticancer medicine yet known with serious adverse reactions, thus requiring further attempts to enhance its biological targeting. Small gold clusters Au n ( n = 2–10) were used as model reactants to simulate the surface of gold nanoparticles. The computed resu...
