The studies on the solvent effects of methyltestorone (MT) in 19 different organic solvents and n-C(6)H(14)/CHCl(3) binary solvents were undertaken by FTIR spectroscopy. The wavenumbers of carbonyl stretching vibration for MT (nu(CO)) in individual solvents were correlated with the empirical solvent parameters such as Schleyer's linear free energy equation (G-value), the solvent acceptor number (AN) and the linear solvation energy relationships (LSER), respectively. The solvent-induced carbonyl stretching vibration wavenumber shifts of MT exhibited a better correlation with the LSER than the other solvent parameters. With the increase of the volume fraction of chloroform (X(CHCl3)) in the n-C(6)H(14)/CHCl(3) binary solvents, two kinds of nu(CO) of MT were observed and assigned. The formation constant (K(0)) of the interaction between MT and CHCl(3) and the free energy change (DeltaG(0)) of the system were calculated in the binary solvents by Nash's method.

The ligand-docking behavior of hevein, the major latex protein from the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae), has been investigated by the unguided molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. An oligosaccharide molecule, initially placed in an arbitrary position, was allowed to move around hevein for a prolonged simulation time, on the order of microseconds, with the expectation of spontaneous ligand docking of the oligosaccharide molecule to the binding site of hevein. In the binary solution system consisting of a hevein molecule and a chito-trisaccharide (GlcNAc) molecule, three out of the six separate simulation runs successfully reproduced the complex structure of the observed binding from.

This study investigates the preparation of coamorphous systems composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), namely praziquantel, niclosamide, and mebendazole. The objective was to formulate and characterize binary and ternary coamorphous systems to evaluate their structural, thermal, and stability properties. Ten different mixtures (binary and ternary) were designed through a mixture design approach and prepared using a sustainable, one-step neat grinding process in a lab-scale vibrational mill.

The studies on ionic liquids (ILs) and their interaction with different solvents have always been an interesting topic for experimental and computational chemists. Recently, however, deep insights on the molecular structures of the IL-water binary mixtures have been mainly performed through classical simulations. Here, a comprehensive quantum mechanical study is presented on seven 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ILs in the absence and presence of water.

Golgi apparatus (GA) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are two of the interesting subcellular organelles that are critical for protein synthesis, folding, processing, post-translational modifications, and secretion. Consequently, dysregulation in GA and ER and cross-talk between them are implicated in numerous diseases including cancer. As a result, simultaneous visualization of the GA and ER in cancer cells is extremely crucial for developing cancer therapeutics.

Currently, CsPbI quantum dots (QDs) based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are not well suited for achieving high efficiency and operational stability due to the binary-precursor method and purification process, which often results in the nonstoichiometric ratio of Cs/Pb/I. This imbalance leads to amounts of iodine vacancies, inducing severe non-radiative recombination processes and phase transitions of QDs. Herein, red-emitting CsPbI QDs are reported with excellent optoelectronic properties and stability based on the synergistic effects of halide-rich modulation passivation and lattice repair.
