Sevelamer (polyallyamine resin)-supported sulfonic acid (S-SOH) has been prepared from the reaction of sevelamer with chlorosulfonic acid and characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The catalytic activity of S-SOH was investigated in the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives. All of the reactions were fast and gave excellent yields. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused for 5 runs without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Background: Synthesis of organic@inorganic hNFs is achieved by the coordination of organic compounds containing amine, amide, and diol groups with bivalent metals. The use of bio-extracts containing these functional groups instead of expensive organic inputs such as DNA, enzymes, and protein creates advantages in terms of cost and applicability. In this study, the application potentials (antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, guaiacol, anionic, and cationic dye degradation) of hybrid (organic@inorganic) nanoflowers (hNFs) synthesized with Cu and snakeskin (SSS) were proposed.

Rhizobium etli is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium that encodes two l-asparaginases. The structure of the inducible R. etli asparaginase ReAV has been recently determined to reveal a protein with no similarity to known enzymes with l-asparaginase activity, but showing a curious resemblance to glutaminases and β-lactamases.

Optically pure 1,2-diols and 1,3-diols are the most privileged structural motifs, widely present in natural products, pharmaceuticals and chiral auxiliaries or ligands. However, their synthesis relies on the use of toxic or expensive metal catalysts or suffer from low regioselectivity. Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of optically pure 1,n-diols from bulk chemicals in a highly stereoselective and atom-economical manner remains a formidable challenge.

In this research, the degradation of Congo red (CR) dye, as an organic pollutant in water, was investigated using microwave-induced reaction technology. This technology requires a microwave-absorbing catalyst and the 2D TiCT MXene was synthesized for that purpose. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, BET, and XPS techniques.

Amino acids, as the fundamental constituents of proteins and enzymes, play a vital role in various biological processes. Amino acids such as histidine, cysteine, and methionine are known to coordinate with metal ions in proteins and enzymes, playing critical roles in their structure and function. In metalloproteins, metal ions are often coordinated by specific amino acid residues, contributing to the protein's stability and catalytic activity.
