title = "Interaction between alanine and single-walled carbon nanotube: A density functional theory study",
abstract = "We have investigated the adsorption of amino acid alanine on single-walled carbon nanotube using ab initio calculations based on density functional theory. Our study shows that the non-covalent interaction of alanine with nanotube depends upon the functional group nearer to the tube wall. Interaction through the amine group of alanine seems to be the most favourable adsorption pathway. The functionalization does not significantly change the metallic property of the nanotube.",
