Untargeted metabolomics and molecular docking studies on green silver nanoparticles synthesized by Sarocladium subulatum: Exploring antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

The biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with fungi has shown promising results in antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Fungi generate metabolites (both primary and secondary) and proteins, which aid in the formation of metal nanoparticles as reducing or capping agents. While several studies have been conducted on the biological production of Ag-NPs, the exact mechanisms still need to be clarified.

Comparative molecular docking and toxicity between carbon-capped metal oxide nanoparticles and standard drugs in cancer and bacterial infections.

Introduction: Nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest in the design of various drugs due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, which result from their unique physicochemical properties. Because of the importance of examining the interactions between newly designed particles with different targets in the case of various diseases, techniques for examining the interactions between these particles with different targets, many of which are proteins, are now very common.

Methods: In this study, the interactions between metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) covered with a carbon layer (AgO, CdO, CuO, FeO, FeO, MgO, MnO, and ZnO NPs) and standard drugs related to the targets of Cancer and bacterial infections were investigated using the molecular docking technique with AutoDock 4.

Biosynthesis of Quantum Dots and Their Therapeutic Applications in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer and SARS-CoV-2.

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor materials that range from 2 nm to 10 nm. These nanomaterials (NMs) are smaller and have more unique properties compared to conventional nanoparticles (NPs). One of the unique properties of QDs is their special optoelectronic properties, making it possible to apply these NMs in bioimaging.
