ملخص المقالة :
In this paper, the structural properties of C20 and C12B8 fullerene interacting with glycine based onthree active sites of glycine and one C atom or one B atom in C12B8 were analyzed through thedensity functional theory. It was found out that the binding of glycine to C12B8 generated a complex.Our results were extremely relevant in order to identify the potential applications of functionalizedC12B8 as drug delivery systems. Glycine prefered to interact with the C12B8 cage via its carbonyloxygen (B=O) active site. B atoms were relatively favored in energy over the C atoms in the C12B8 glycine while the stable ordering of three active sites on glycine molecule was =O site> O site> Nsite.
