Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of the linker histone (H) in the binding interaction between ambochlorin (Amb), and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) as binary and ternary systems.

Materials And Methods: The project was accomplished through the means of absorbance, fluorescence, stopped-flow circular dichroism spectroscopy, viscosity, thermal melting, and molecular modeling techniques.

Results: Spectroscopic analysis revealed that although Amb was strongly bound to both ctDNA and ctDNA-H, it showed a greater tendency to ctDNA in the presence of the linker histone.

With advances in new drug therapies, it is essential to understand the interactions between drugs and target molecules. In this study, we applied multiple spectroscopic techniques including absorbance, fluorescence, circular dichroism spectroscopy, viscosity, thermal melting, calorimetric, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to study the interaction between 2-Ethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl) pyramido pyrazole ophthalazine trione (PPF) and calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) in the absence or presence of histone H1. PPF exhibits a high binding affinity towards ct DNA in binary and ternary systems.

DNA stands as the primary purpose of many anticancer drugs and according to the performed research on this field, some certain changes contain crucial functionalities in the regulated transcription of DNA. Therefore, the interaction between anticancer drugs and DNA play an important role in understanding their function and also provide a better groundwork for producing more efficient and newer drugs. Here, the interaction between Docetaxel (DO) and calf thymus DNA (ct DNA), in the presence and absence of Anastrozole (AN), has been examined through the usage of different methods that include isothermal titration calorimetry, multi-spectroscopic, viscometry, and molecular docking techniques.

Knowledge on the impact of the exposure to indoor ultrafine particles (UFPs) on the human brain is restricted. Twelve non-atopic, non-smoking, and healthy adults (10 female and 7 male, in average 22 years old) were monitored for brain physiological responses via electroencephalographs (EEGs) during cooking. Frying ground beef meat in sunflower oil using electric stove without ventilation was conducted.
