Recently, there has been great progress in the field of extremely sensitive and precise detection of bioanalytes. The importance of the utilization of nanoparticles in biosensors has been recognized due to their unique properties. Specifically, nanoparticles of gold, silver, and magnetic plus graphene, quantum dots, and nanotubes of carbon are being keenly considered for utilization within biosensors to detect nucleic acids, Read More

Copper is the third most common heavy metal and an indispensable component of life. Variations of body copper levels, both structural and cellular, are related to a number of disorders; consequently, the pathophysiological importance of copper ions demands the development of sensitivity and selection for detecting these organisms in biological systems. In recent years, the area of fluorescent sensors for detectin Read More

Background: Breast carcinomas aka triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are one of the most complex and aggressive forms of cancers in females. Recently, studies have shown that these carcinomas are resistant to hormone-targeted therapies, which makes it a priority to search for effective and potential anticancer drugs. The present study aimed to synthesize and develop the 2Dquantitative structural activity relatio Read More

Background: Solanum pubescens Willd, growing wild in the hills of Rayadurg jurisdiction of Southwestern Andhra Pradesh, has gained significant attention among researchers for its diverse folkloric applications, existence of novel phytochemicals and leaf extracts which hold great medicinal promises. To date, the S. pubescens fruit’s essential oil (SPO) has never been investigated. Methods: The current research has been focu Read More

Introduction: Selonsertib, the most recently developed selective inhibitor of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1. We elucidated the binding characteristics, mechanism of interaction, and dynamic behaviors of selonsertib with human serum albumin (HSA), a major circulatory transport protein. Methods: Different biophysical approaches (fluorescence quenching and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) were combined wi Read More
