Molecular docking and simulation analysis of the FimH protein with secondary metabolites from the species.

It is of interest to document the molecular docking and simulation analysis of the FimH protein with 10 secondary metabolites from Garcinia species in the context of drug discovery for Urinary tract infections (UTIs). We report the optimal binding features of flavonoids with the FimH protein for further consideration in drug discovery.

Functional and Structural Characterization of Melanin from Brevibacillus invocatus Strain IBA.

Melanin is a polyphenol or indolic dark brown to black pigment of macromolecules that has a variety of biological functions including UV defence, desiccation, and oxidation. The pigment is classified as a heterogenic polymer. Analytical characterization of melanin can be difficult due to its heterogeneity.
