Correlated Reference-Assisted Variational Quantum Eigensolver.

We propose an active-space approximation to reduce the quantum resources required for variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Starting from the double exponential unitary coupled-cluster ansatz and employing the downfolding technique, we arrive at an effective Hamiltonian for active space composed of the bare Hamiltonian and a correlated potential caused by the internal-external interaction. The correlated potential is obtained from the one-body second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (OBMP2), which is derived using the canonical transformation and cumulant approximation.

Extraction of curcumin from turmeric residue ( L.) using deep eutectic solvents and surfactant solvents.

Using waste materials to extract biologically active ingredients with green solvents is a new trend for sustainable development. Herein, different types of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and surfactant solvents (SSs) were used to extract curcumin from turmeric residues (TRs), among which choline chloride-propylene glycol (ChCl-Pro) showed the highest yield. The optimized extraction conditions included a ChCl : Pro ratio of 1 : 2, water content in the DESs of 20%, solid : liquid ratio of 1 : 40 maintained for 60 min at 50 °C, and a TR particle size of 0.

Flavonoids and alkaloids from the rhizomes of Zephyranthes ajax Hort. and their cytotoxicity.

A new flavanol derivative, (2R,3R)-3-acetoxy-7-hydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavan (1), was co-isolated from the rhizomes of Zephyranthes ajax Hort. with the following seven known compounds: 7-hydroxyflavan (2), 7,4'-dihydroxyflavan (3), 7,4'-dihydroxy-8-methylflavan (4), 7,3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavan (5), 5,4'-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-6-methylflavan (6), 7-hydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavanone (7) and haemanthamine (8). Their structures were elucidated by combining 1D-/2D-NMR, CD, UV and HRESIMS data, and comparisons with reported data in literature were made.

Antiviral effect of Škorničk essential oil from the whole plant against vaccinia virus (VV).

In the prevention of epidemic and pandemic emerging and neglected viral infections, natural products are an important source of lead compounds. Škorničkis is a rhizomatous herb growing in the forest of central Vietnam. essential oil (Hb EO) was recently characterised by our group as endowed of antimicrobial activity against Methicillin-Resistant strains.

Phytochemical Compositions and Biological Activities of Essential Oils from the Leaves, Rhizomes and Whole Plant of Škorničk.

The rapid emergence of drug-resistant strains and novel viruses have motivated the search for new anti-infectious agents. In this study, the chemical compositions and cytotoxicity, as well as the antibacterial, antifungal, antitrichomonas, and antiviral activities of essential oils from the leaves, rhizomes, and whole plant of were investigated. The GC/MS analysis showed that β-pinene, -β-caryophyllene, and α-humulene were found at high concentrations in the essential oils.

Identification and Functional Characterization of a Soybean () Thioesterase that Acts on Intermediates of Fatty Acid Biosynthesis.

(1) Background: Plants possess many acyl-acyl carrier protein (acyl-ACP) thioesterases (TEs) with unique specificity. One such TE is methylketone synthase 2 (MKS2), an enzyme with a single-hotdog-fold structure found in several tomato species that hydrolyzes 3-ketoacyl-ACPs to give free 3-ketoacids. (2) Methods: In this study, we identified and characterized a tomato MKS2 homolog gene, namely, , in the genome of soybean (.
