Influence of Cu-ion doping in NiO NPs and their structural, morphological, optical and magnetic behaviors for optoelectronic devices and magnetic applications.

NiO and Cu-ion doped NiO nanoparticles with various concentrations (0.01-0.04 M) have been effectively synthesized in the current investigation using chemical precipitation method.

Identification of novel polymorphism in mammary-derived growth inhibitor gene of water buffalo and its expression analysis in the mammary gland.

Mammary-derived growth inhibitor (MDGI), a member of the lipophilic family of fatty acid-binding proteins, plays an important role in the development, regulation, and differentiation of the mammary gland. The aim of the study was to identify polymorphism in the gene and its expression analysis in the mammary gland at various stages of lactation, in Indian buffalo. Nucleotide sequence analysis of gene in different breeds of riverine and swamp buffaloes revealed a total of 16 polymorphic sites and one .

PCR-SSCP analysis of MDGI gene and its association with milk production traits in river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).

In this study, we investigated the genetic variation within 3'UTR of Mammary-Derived Growth Inhibitor (MDGI) gene of buffalo using PCR-SSCP and sequencing; and also analyzed association of polymorphism with the milk production traits. The study revealed two conformational patterns, 'A' and 'B' among 234 Mehsana buffaloes maintained with their records in the field and at farm. The frequency of SSCP variant 'A' was found to be invariably high in the buffalo population under study.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-carb-oxy-2-(3,4-di-hydroxy-phen-yl)ethan-1-aminium chloride 2-ammonio-3-(3,4-di-hydroxy-phen-yl)propano-ate: a new polymorph of l-dopa HCl and isotypic with its bromide counterpart.

The title mol-ecular salt, CHNO·Cl·CHNO, is isotypic with that of the bromide counterpart [Kathiravan (2016 ▸). E, 1544-1548]. The title salt is a second monoclinic polymorph of the l-dopa HCl structure reported earlier in the monoclinic space group 2 [Jandacek & Earle (1971 ▸).

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-carb-oxy-2-(3,4-di-hydroxy-phen-yl)ethan-1-aminium bromide 2-ammonio-3-(3,4-di-hydroxy-phen-yl)propano-ate.

In the title mol-ecular salt, CHNO·Br·CHNO, one of the dopa mol-ecules is in the cationic form in which the α-amino group is protonated and the α-carb-oxy-lic acid group is uncharged, while the second dopa mol-ecule is in the zwitterion form. The Br anion occupies a special position and is located on a twofold rotation axis. The two dopa mol-ecules are inter-connected by short O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
