Molecular dynamics methods are used to study the molecular mechanisms of interaction between zinc ions and flagellin that occurs during the bacterial synthesis of zinc sulfide nanoparticles. The main characteristic of Bacillus subtilis 168 bacteria for production of zinc sulfide nanoparticles by biosynthesis is that the only one protein involved in the bacterial processing is flagellin . It was found that the temperature of 300 K increases the degree of complexation of the flagellin molecule significantly, which contributes to the formation of metal nanoparticles.
