Abstract

In the present study, the interaction between drug Tyrphostin AG528 and CNT(6,6-6) nanotube by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations in solvent water has been investigated for the first time. According to the calculations, intermolecular hydrogen bonds take place between an active position of the molecule Tyrphostin AG528 and hydrogen atoms of the nanotube which play an important role in the stability of complex CNT(6,6- 6)/Tyrphostin AG528. The non-bonded interaction effects of the molecule Tyrphostin AG528 with CNT(6,6-6) nanotube on the electronic properties, chemical shift tensors and natural charge have also been detected. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis suggested that the molecule Tyrphostin AG528 as an electron donor and the CNT(6,6-6) nanotube play the role of an electron acceptor at the complex CNT(6,6-6)/Tyrphostin AG528. The electronic spectra of the Tyrphostin AG528 drug and complex CNT(6,6-6)/Tyrphostin AG528 in solvent water were calculated by Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) for the investigation of adsorption effect of the Tyrphostin AG528 drug over nanotube on maximum wavelength. Then, the possibility of the use of CNT(6,6-6) nanotube for Tyrphostin AG528 delivery to the diseased...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
