Three novel tetra(thio)ureido dihomooxacalix[4]arene anion receptors (phenylurea 4a, phenylthiourea 4b, and tert-butylurea 4c) were synthesized and obtained in the cone conformation in solution, as shown by NMR studies. The X-ray crystal structure of 4c is reported. The host-guest properties of these receptors toward several anions were investigated by H NMR titrations. Phenylurea 4a displayed a very efficient binding toward the spherical F and Cl anions, and the linear CN (log K = 3.46, 3.50, and 4.02, respectively). In comparison to related bidentate phenylurea dihomooxacalix[4]arenes, tetraphenylurea 4a is more preorganized and the higher number of hydrogen bond donor sites provides a remarkable enhancement of its binding efficiency.

This work examined the effects of molecular weight (2-15 kDa) and concentration (10-30 mg/mL) of chitosan (CTS) on the binding capacity and interface behavior between octenyl succinic acid sodium starch (OSS) and CTS, as well as their effects on the storage stability of emulsions. The results of the isothermal calorimetry titration demonstrated that OSS and CTS were complexed by electrostatic interaction and spontaneous hydrogen bonding driven by enthalpy (ΔH from -3931 to -7983 cal/mol, ΔS from -38.5 to -49.

Red grapes contain resveratrol (Resv), a polyphenol with anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anticancer properties. In this study, in silico molecular docking was used to assess the binding affinity of Resv to target proteins. Resv was encapsulated in PEGylated liposomes (LNPs) using Phospholipon 90G, cholesterol, and DSPE-mPEG.

This study aimed to determine the effects of novel N-{3-[(pyridin-4-yl)carbamoyl] phenyl} thiophene-2-carboxamide or PCPTC chemical moiety loaded Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-Poly (Ethylene glycol) or (PLGA-PEGylated) NP as an anti-metastatic Ran GTPase therapeutic agent on MDA-MB231 triple-negative human breast cancer cells. Molecular docking and MD simulation was done to determine the binding potential of novel carboxamide PCPTC with Ran GTPase. PLGA and PLGA-PEG based NP encapsulating PCPTC were fabricated using the Modified Double Emulsion Solvent Evaporation Technique and characterized for size, zeta potential, polydispersity and morphology.

Group-equivariant neural networks have emerged as an efficient approach to model complex data, using generalized convolutions that respect the relevant symmetries of a system. These techniques have made advances in both the supervised learning tasks for classification and regression, and the unsupervised tasks to generate new data. However, little work has been done in leveraging the symmetry-aware expressive representations that could be extracted from these approaches.
