Research goal was study of separate and joint influence of bioregulator prostamax and Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions on the chromatin structure in situ. The thermal characteristics of the denaturation process of blood lymphocytes culture of aging people in the presence of some microg quantities of Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions have been determined. It has been shown that Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions at these low concentrations don't influence on the temperature stability of membrane, nuclear and cytoplasm proteins. It has been shown that Cu(II) ions cause an additional condensation of the heterochromatin, and Cd(II) ions cause decondensation of heterochromatin and its partial denaturation.

The utilization of cyanobacteria toxin-producing blooms for metal ions adsorption has garnered significant attention over the last decade. This study investigates the efficacy of dead cells from Microcystis aeruginosa blooms, collected from agricultural drainage water reservoir, in removing of cadmium, lead, and zinc ions from aqueous solutions, and simultaneously addressing the mitigation of toxin-producing M. aeruginosa bloom.

Nano-fibrillated bacterial cellulose (NFBC) has very long fibers (>17 μm) with diameters of approximately 20 nm. Hence, they have a very high aspect ratio and surface area. The high specific surface area of NFBC can potentially be utilized as an adsorbent.

Energy crisis and environmental pollution are two central themes of contemporary research towards achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Material chemistry is the chief discipline that can resolve glitches in these areas through the appropriate design of chemical compounds with multifunctional properties. In this regard, two stable coordination polymers (CPs) were synthesised in this work using Zn(II) (3d) and Cd(II) (d) metal nodes with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate () as the bridging ligand and monodentate pyridyl-N coordinated 9-fluoren-2-yl-pyridin-4-ylmethylene-amine (flpy) as the fluorogenic partner.

A superhelix is a three-dimensional arrangement of a helix in which the helix is coiled around a common axis. Here, we are reporting a short 12-helix of α,γ-hybrid peptides terminated by metal binding ligands, self-assembled into a right-handed superhelix around a common axis in the presence of Cd(II) ions. Furthermore, these superhelices are assembled into hierarchical superhelical β-sheet-type structural motifs in single crystals.

Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) and their composites are promising for heavy metal adsorption, yet current SNPs often lack surface S, leading to low affinity toward heavy metal and ease of aggregation. Here, we report a simple light-driven method for facile prepare SNPs with surfaces enriched with S and in-situ load them onto graphene oxide (GO) to fabricate GO-S composites. Under illumination, the O generated by photosensitizer phloxine B was able to oxidize S into elemental SNPs.
