  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, the simulation of biomolecules manipulation using molecular dynamics (MD) is studied. In order to investigate the manipulation behavior, we have used the ubiquitin as biomolecule, a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) as manipulation probe, a two-layer graphene sheet as substrate. Along this line, a series of simulations are conducted to study the effects of different conditions on the success of manipulation process. These conditions include tip diameter, vertical gap between the tip and substrate, initial orientation of protein, and the tip position with respect to the biomolecule
