Design and characterization of BSA-mycophenolic acid nanocomplexes: Antiviral activity exploration.

The interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and mycophenolic acid (MPA) were investigated in silico through molecular docking and in vitro, using fluorescence spectroscopy. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy were used to figure out the structure of MPA-Complex (MPA-C). The binding affinity between MPA and BSA was determined, yielding a Kd value of (12.

Nickel(II) complexes based on L-amino-acid-derived ligands: synthesis, characterization and study of the role of the supramolecular structure in carbon dioxide capture.

The formation of the symmetrical μ-carbonate-bridged self-assembled trinuclear Ni complex Na{[Ni(LO)(HO)](μ-CO)} (LO is the carboxylate anion of a L-tyrosine derivative), involves atmospheric CO uptake. The asymmetric unit of the complex comprises an octahedral coordination for the Ni with two L-tyrosine-based ligands, a water molecule and one O atom of the carbonate bridge. The Ni-μ-CO core in this compound is the first reported of this kind according to the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).
