Article Synopsis
- * Recent findings suggest that the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect enhances electron transport in these proteins by linking electron movement to spin, potentially minimizing energy loss.
- * Our research shows that both membrane-associated MtrA and periplasmic small tetraheme cytochrome (STC) exhibit spin-selective electron transport, with MtrA showing higher spin polarization (∼77%) than STC (∼35%), indicating length-dependent spin effects in heme proteins.
Biophotovoltaic devices utilize photosynthetic organisms such as the model cyanobacterium sp. PCC 6803 () to generate current for power or hydrogen production from light. These devices have been improved by both architecture engineering and genetic engineering of the phototrophic organism.

Fifteen patients with superficial fungal infections (tinea versicolor--9, dermatophytic infections--6) were included in this study. Skin scrapings were collected directly on to the glass slide and also by using cellophane tape. Both the samples were mounted with KOH.

Background: Toxic epidermal necrolysis can be fatal and nursing care with careful monitoring of temperature and humidity can improve survival rate. We adapted the greenhouse and igloo principle using a common hood to monitor the temperature and humidity.
Methods: A small heater with a regulator was placed in a mini hood and temperature was recorded inside the uncovered hood and hood covered with green cloth and aluminium foil separately.
Achieving asepsis of banana leaves for the management of toxic epidermal necrolysis.
Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol
November 2006
Background: Banana leaf is used in many centers in India during the care of patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and other extensive blistering disorders. Sepsis is an important cause of death in TEN patients and use of banana leaf may be a source of such infection.
Aims: We conducted this study to detect the bacterial flora of the banana leaf and to examine various methods of rendering the leaf aseptic.
