Engineering and design of a COF-coated probe for the detection and removal of flumequine and enrofloxacin antibiotics in foodstuffs: a molecular dynamics simulation approach by Alireza Nakhaei, Heidar Raissi, Maryam Alaei, Farzaneh Farzad

“…Our simulations reveal that the flumequine/COF-316 (FLU/COF-316) complex exhibits the lowest average interaction energy at approximately −478 kJ/mol, while the enrofloxacin/COF-316-COOH (ENR/COF-316-COOH) complex has a higher interaction energy, approximately −220 kJ/mol. The main contributor to these interactions is the Lennard–Jones potential, which arises from strong π-π interactions between the fluoroquinolone molecules and the COF surface. …”
