Effect of Functionalized Benzene Derivatives as Potential Hole Scavengers for BiVO and rGO-BiVO Photoelectrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

Sustainable hydrogen production is one of the main challenges today in the transition to a green and sustainable economy. Photocatalytic hydrogen production is one of the most promising technologies, amongst which BiVO-based processes are highly attractive due to their suitable band gap for solar-driven processes. However, the performance of BiVO alone in this role is often unsatisfactory.

Antiproliferative activity of morpholine-based compounds on MCF-7 breast cancer, colon carcinoma C26, and normal fibroblast NIH-3T3 cell lines and study of their binding affinity to calf thymus-DNA and bovine serum albumin.

This report describes the results of a study on the antiproliferative activity of the morpholine-based ligand 1,3-bis(1-morpholinothiocarbonyl)benzene () and its nickel(II) complex () against human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), colon carcinoma cells (C26), and normal fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells. showed better cytotoxicity on both cancerous cells relative to normal cells with the highest selective index of 2.22 in MCF-7 cells.

Enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting of CrTiO nanotube photoanodes by the decoration of their surface via the photodeposition of Ag and Au.

It is of great significance to develop green fuels in order to prevent the accumulation of carbon dioxide generated by the combustion of conventional fossil fuels. A potential, clean, renewable alternative fuel, which may be produced from solar energy, stored and safely transported, is hydrogen. In this work, bare CrTiO2 NTs were fabricated using an in situ anodizing process.

A computational study to identify the key residues of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in the interactions with its antagonists.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) compose a family of nuclear receptors, PPARα, PPARβ, and PPARγ, which mediate the effects of lipidic ligands at the transcriptional level. Among these, the PPARγ has been known to regulate adipocyte differentiation, fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism, and is a target of antidiabetic drugs. In this work, the interactions between PPARγ and its six known antagonists were investigated using computational methods such as molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and the hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM).
