Network metrics, structural dynamics and density functional theory calculations identified a novel Ursodeoxycholic Acid derivative against therapeutic target Parkin for Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) has been designated as one of the priority neurodegenerative disorders worldwide. Although diagnostic biomarkers have been identified, early onset detection and targeted therapy are still limited. An integrated systems and structural biology approach were adopted to identify therapeutic targets for PD.

Microalgal bio-flocculation: present scenario and prospects for commercialization.

The need for sustainable production of renewable biofuel has been a global concern in the recent times. Overcoming the tailbacks of the first- and second-generation biofuels, third-generation biofuel using microalgae as feedstock has emerged as a plausible alternative. It has an added advantage of preventing any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with simultaneous carbon dioxide sequestration.

Optimization of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cultivation with simultaneous CO sequestration and biofuels production in a biorefinery framework.

Algal biomass is regarded as a sustainable energy feedstock for the future. Enhancement of the biomass and metabolite production of microalgae increases the economic feasibility of the biofuel production process. The present study encompasses on bioethanol production from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii through a biorefinery approach.

Vanadium(V) hydrazido(2-) thiolate imine alkoxide complexes.

The reaction of (Me(3)Si)(2)TIP with V(NNMe(2))(OAr)(3) results in the production of V(NNMe(2))(TIP)(OAr), where TIP is 2-((2-thiolatophenylimino)methylene)phenolate. The aryloxide is readily displaced by ISiMe(3) to form an insoluble iodide complex formulated as V(NNMe(2))(TIP)(I). The iodide was used to prepare three different complexes: [V(NNMe(2))(TIP)(dmpe)]I, [V(NNMe(2))(TIP)(Bu(t)bpy)][OTf], and [V(NNMe(2))(TIP)(Bu(t)bpy)][SbF(6)].
