Abstract
- MWCNTs quenched the fluorescence potential of biomolecules.
- Quenching mechanism remains static and non-fluorescent.
- 3D spectra of biomolecules confirmed MWCNTs effect towards the local environment of tryptophan and tyrosine residues.
- Hyper-chromic effect of biomolecules evidenced their increased hydrophobicity.
- FTIR and FT-Raman data showed the changes in amide and amino acid residues positions.
- Far and near UV-CD spectra confirmed the loss of secondary structural elements.
