摘要
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial densely packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice by a flat single-layer carbon atom. Graphene has excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties and has important application prospects in biomedicine and materials science. With the wide application of graphene in scientific research, its biosafety issues are also received huge attention. Although a large number of studies have shown that graphene has good biocompatibility, some studies have found that graphene has certain biological toxicity. Graphene could interact with proteins, lipids and nucleic acids etc. Because it could permeate through the skin due to its small particle size. Recently, computer simulation has been widely used in the field of biology, chemistry and pharmaceutics etc. due to its low cost, high safety and easy access to dynamic structures which cannot be directly obtained by available experiment technologies. Therefore, in this paper, the computer simulation of the biotoxicity of graphene to cell membrane, proteins and DNA were reviewed, which may provide a reference for graphene biosafety evaluation and biomedical applications. © All Right Reserved.
