Enantiospecific adsorption of amino acids on hydroxylated quartz (1010)
Abstract
Density functional theory calculations have been used to study the adsorption of glycine, alanine, serine, cysteine, aspartic acid and asparagine on the hydroxylated (10 1 0) surface of alpha-quartz. We found measurable energy differences between the two enantiomers of serine, aspartic acid and asparagine in their most stable states on this surface, while negligible differences in adsorption energies for the most stable minima of enantiomers of alanine and cysteine were observed. Our results provide fundamental information on how amino acids can exhibit enantiospecific adsorption on hydroxylated quartz surfaces.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
DFT studies show modest computed differences in adsorption energies of enantiomers on quartz (on the order of 2 kcal mol−1 at best).
“In short, the computed differences in the adsorption energies of the enantiomers are modest (on the order of 2 kcal mol À1 at best) but strongly depend on the nature of amino acids and quartz surfaces.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
