Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the production of ZnO nanoparticles using plant leaf extract and transition metal dopants (Ni, Mn, Co), highlighting the advantages of this green synthesis method over traditional techniques in nanoscience and nanobiotechnology.
- - Structural and functional properties of the nanoparticles were analyzed using various scientific methods, confirming their wurtzite crystal structure and identifying the active functional groups present.
- - The Co-ZnO nanoparticles showed effective photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics (91.09% for tetracycline, 87.97% for ampicillin, and 92.42% for amoxicillin) and demonstrated antimicrobial activities along with cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory properties, making them a promising material for environmental and biomedical applications
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to study the conformational characteristics of Glycine Dipeptide (GD) in the presence of explicit water molecules for over 10 ns with a MD time step of 2 fs. The density functional theory (DFT) methods with 6-311G** basis set have been employed to study the effects of microsolvation on the conformations of GD with 5-10 water molecules. The interaction energy with BSSE corrections and the strength of the intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions have been analyzed.
