Summary: This study investigates the molecular interactions between aqueous Benzyltriethylammonium chloride and two amino acids (L-Cysteine and Glycine) in mixtures. The dominant interaction is solute-solvent interaction, which is more prominent than solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions. The study also confirms the presence of significant hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions between the ionic liquid and amino acids.

Summary: The study focuses on the design of new antimicrobial drugs using transition metals, specifically two mononuclear complexes, and evaluates their antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The compounds show promising bactericidal activity, ability to disrupt biofilms, and potential as anticancer agents. The role of imidazole in the biological activity of these complexes is highlighted, suggesting their potential clinical applications in treating bacterial and fungal infections.

Summary: Potentiometric measurements were conducted to study the interaction between sparfloxacin (SPFX) and metal ions, along with various amino acids. The formation constants for binary and ternary complexes were measured under specific conditions, and binding constants with bovine serum albumin were determined through absorption titration experiments.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the genetic makeup of agro-economically important members of Euphorbiaceae by identifying and characterizing high-quality SNP markers and their distribution in exonic and intronic regions using publicly available ESTs. The quality sequences were assembled into contigs using the CAP3 program and SNP mining was performed using QualitySNP. A total of 25,432 potential SNPs and 14,351 high-quality SNPs, including 2276 indels, were detected. The SNP markers detected can be used for various applications such as linkage mapping, marker-assisted breeding, studying genetic diversity, mapping important phenotypic traits, and screening mutations in important genes for disease resistance.

Summary: The results of screening studies on the sorption of naturally occurring biologically active compounds on aluminum- and iron-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are presented. It was found that the sorption activity of iron-containing MOFs is higher than that of aluminum-containing MOFs, indicating the possibility of selectively retaining or separating a mixture of chemically different substances through targeted selection of MOFs.

Summary: This study focused on the identification of muscid flies based on the COI gene, revealing significant genetic divergences within and between species from India and other countries. A phylogenetic tree constructed using COI gene sequences successfully separated 24 species of these medically, legally, and forensically important muscid flies.
