The condensing reaction of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with quinoxalyl-2-carbohydrazide resulted in synthesizing of a novel derivative of hydrazone quinoxalyl ligand (Hdpq). The bonding behavior between Hdpq and Co(II) ion was investigated in molar ratios of 1: 1 and 2: 1 to produce two different complexes, Codpq and Co(dpq), respectively. Their chemical structure was verified using several spectroscopic approaches.

Article Synopsis
  • Hydrogenosomes, found in anaerobic organisms like the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, have specialized functions due to limited oxygen, leading to unique mechanisms for protein import that differ from typical mitochondria.
  • The study identifies a hybrid translocase complex (TvTIM) combining features of TIM22 and TIM23, which facilitates the import of specific proteins into the hydrogenosomal matrix.
  • The research highlights the unique structural features and protein associations of TvTIM, revealing significant differences in how these organelles function compared to traditional mitochondria.

Gadani is internationally renowned for its extensive ship-breaking operations, positioning it as one of the globe's primary ship-breaking hubs. A comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the presence of organic contaminants in the air within Gadani, encompassing the areas surrounding ship-breaking facilities, proximate residential settlements, and adjacent roadways. Passive air samplers were employed to collect a total of 30 air samples.
