The present research utilizes a sol-gel approach to create a CoFeO/g-CN nanocomposite (NC) and explored several analytical methods to evaluate physical, chemical and optical based characteristics via XRD, FTIR, UV-vis, SEM/EDS and XPS for the prepared pure CoFeO, g-CN, and CoFeO/g-CN NC. The XRD results show that the prepared g-CN, CoFeO, exhibits hexagonal and cubic phases respectively, whereas the g-CN/CoFeO NC exhibit mixing of two phases. The energy band gaps for pure g-CN, CoFeO and g-CN/CoFeO NC values are viz.

One of the main source of demise during the next ten years will be coronary heart disease and stroke, which are brought on by smoking (nicotine). To identify the percentage (%) of nicotine consumption by electrocatalytic sensor towards nicotine for target-specific prevent stroke, four uninuclear Ni complexes of substituted butanimidamide Schiff base ligands [HL] was prepared. All the complexes were thoroughly analyzed by using several spectroscopic techniques such as CHNS analysis, FT-IR, NMR (H & C) UV-Vis and NMR.

Background: Peramivir is a neuraminidase inhibitor that serves as a transition state analogue for influenza neuraminidase, inhibiting the formation of new viruses in infected cells, and has been approved for intravenous administration.

Objective: To validate an HPLC method used to identify the degraded products of the antiviral drug peramivir.

Methods: Herein, we report the identification of compounds formed after the degradation of peramivir through acid, alkali, peroxide, thermal, and photolytic degradation.

Naturally occurring mutations to cytochrome c (cyt-c) have been identified recently in patients with mild autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia (low platelet levels), which yield cyt-c mutants with enhanced apoptotic activity. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this low platelet production and enhanced apoptosis remain unclear. Therefore, an attempt is made herein for the first time to investigate the effects of mutations of glycine 41 by serine (G41S) and tyrosine 48 by histidine (Y48H) on the conformational and dynamic changes of apoptotic (Fe) cyt-c using all atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in explicit water solvent.
