Computational approach to attenuate virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa through bioinspired silver nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: In this study we aim to investigate the computational docking approach of biofabricated silver nanoparticles against P. aeruginosa virulent exoenzymes, such as ExoS and ExoY. Therefore, the synthesis and characterization of biofabricated silver nanoparticles using Piper betle leaves (Pb-AgNPs) were carried out. The surface topology and functional group attachment on the surface of Pb-AgNPs were analyzed using UV-visible spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-Ray Diffraction. The FTIR analysis revealed that the synthesized silver nanoparticles were capped with P. betle phytochemicals importantly Eugenol and Hydroxychavicol. These are the major bioactive compounds present in P. betle leaves; therefore, c
