Some aminofluorobenzoic acids were studied to evaluate the power of the F···HO hydrogen bond and other interactions as driving forces of the conformational isomerism of these compounds. Despite the occurrence of this hydrogen bond in the 2-fluorinated derivatives, as well as attractive O/F nonbonding interactions and NH···O═C hydrogen bond, the O/O repulsion dictates the orientation of the carboxyl group. Unlike 2-fluorophenol, which is reported to not experience a F···HO hydrogen bond, 2-fluorobenzoic acid derivatives were calculated to exhibit such interaction, but it could not be monitored experimentally by means of F/H(O) coupling constant, because of the low solubility of these compounds in nonpolar solvents, the acidity of the carboxyl hydrogen, the small population of some conformers capable of exhibiting hydrogen bond, and the solute self-association in solution, which make their conformational equilibrium different from that in gas phase.

This study shows the efficiency of WH-C450, an adsorbent obtained from water hyacinth (WH) biomass, in the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous solutions. The process involves calcination of WH at 450 °C to produce an optimal adsorbent material capable of removing up to 73% of SMX and maximum SMX adsorption capacity of 132.23 mg/g.

Molecular spin qubits have the advantages of synthetic flexibility and amenability to be tailored to specific applications. Among them, chromophore-radical systems have emerged as appealing qubit candidates. These systems can be initiated by light to form triplet-radical pairs that can result in the formation of quartet states by spin mixing.

In this paper, zein-carboxymethyl starch (CMS) nanoparticles were prepared by antisolvent precipitation method to improve the stability of rutin (RT). The encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, oxidation resistance, structural properties were evaluated. The results showed that electrostatic, hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction were the main driving forces for the formation of nanoparticles.

The immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor FcεRI (Fc epsilon RI) plays a crucial role in allergic reactions. Recent studies have indicated that the interaction between FcεRIβ and the downstream protein phospholipase C beta 3 (PLCβ3) leads to the production of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to develop small molecules that inhibit the protein-protein interactions between FcεRIβ and PLCβ3 to treat allergic inflammation.

Due to health reasons of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), there has been a growing interest in reducing it. To address this, this study developed the PGPR/Protein (whey, pea, and chickpea protein isolates) emulsifier combinations. The effects of these combinations on the preparation, structure, physicochemical and in vitro digestive properties of W/O/W microcapsules were evaluated.
