Abstract

Excessive of homocysteine in the human body is recently considered as a factor increasing the risk of the cardiovascular system diseases. The nanosystem composed of finite number of homocysteine molecules covered single walled carbon nanotube have been studied by MD technique. The translational and rotational velocity correlation functions and their Fourier transforms have been calculated for several temperatures. The qualitative interpretation of translational and reorientational dynamics of homocysteine molecules in such specific environment is presented.
