In this research, molecular modification is employed to see the enhancement in the efficiency of Tyrian Purple (TP), a natural dye, for organic photovoltaic materials. By using Density Functional Theory (DFT) based molecular modeling, seven new structures are designed with pi spacer to extend electron donor moieties. Teheir Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) analysis demonstartes their charges with a similar pattern of distributions over their Highest Occupied and Lowed Unocuupied Molecular Orbitals (HOMO/lUMO).

Introduction: Studies assessing immune responses following Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 (Pfizer) and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 AZD1222 (AstraZeneca) vaccines in patients with hemoglobinopathy are non-existent in the literature despite being thought at high risk of infection.

Methods: Prospectively, we collected serum from patients with hemoglobinopathies at least 14 days post vaccine and measured neutralizing antibodies (nAb) in addition to binding antibodies using in-house assays.

Results: All 66 participants mounted a significant binding antibody response (100%), but nAbs were detected in (56/66) post-vaccine with a rate of 84.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated COVID-19 vaccination perceptions and hesitancy among patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) during the pandemic, particularly focusing on their unique medical needs.
  • About 42% of the surveyed SCD patients participated, with only 35.37% having received at least one vaccine dose, and many were hesitant due to fears of complications.
  • The findings highlight a significant barrier to vaccination among SCD patients, emphasizing the need for targeted communication to address their concerns and promote immunization.

The preparation and spectral identification of new heterocyclic azo ligand 1,4-Bis(imidazolylazo)benzene (BIAB) was prepared by reacting a diazonium chloride salt solution of 1,4-diaminobenzene with imidazole in alkaline ethanolic solution. Differing spectral techniques have been used to study the structure of the azo dye ligand (BIAB) such as Elemental analysis (C.H.
