Simulation of biological ion channels with technology computer-aided design

Santosh Pandey, Bortei-Doku, A. White, M.H.
Computer simulations of realistic ion channel structures have always been challenging and a subject of rigorous study. Simulations based on continuum electrostatics have proven to be computationally cheap and reasonably accurate in predicting a channel's behavior. In this paper we discuss the use of a device simulator, SILVACO, to build a solid-state model for KcsA channel and study its steady-state response. SILVACO is a well-established program, typically used by electrical engineers to simula...

From Structural Colors to Super-Hydrophobicity and Achromatic Transparent Protective Coatings: Ion Plating Plasma Assisted TiO2 and SiO2 Nano-Film Deposition

Raffaella Aversa, Valeria Perrotta, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Misiano Carlo, Florian Ion T. Petrescu and Antonio Apicella
The implementation of the Ion Plating Plasma Assisted technology in the area of surface functionalization for structural color and relic preservation applications is presented. Interferometric structural colors on irregular bumped Titanium surfaces and transparent and achromatic nano films on ancient ceramic artifact have been investigated. Titanium metal and ceramic supports have been utilized for the surface functionalization tests: A metallic electron beam additive manufactured Titanium compo...

Antivral and antiparasitic activities of various substituted triazole derivatives: A mini review

Mohammad Asif
The presence of three nitrogen hetero-atoms in five-membered ring systems defines an interesting class of compounds, the triazole. This may be of two types, the 1,2,3-triazoles and the 1,2,4-triazoles. Out of the two triazoles, 1,2,4-triazole have drawn great attention due to its wide variety of activities, low toxicities and good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. Chemistry of triazoles and their fused heterocyclic derivatives has received considerable attention owing to their effect...

Photo-degradation of monoazo dye blue 13 using advanced oxidation process

Jamal M.A, Muneer M, Iqbal M
The high energy radiation overcome the bonding of solute in a solution and H2O2 acts as an oxidizing agent and generates a free radical in the solution which results in photo-degradation by converting the solute in to simple form and resultantly, colored substance under the effect of photo-degradation becomes colorless. The photo-degradation of monoazo dye Blue 13 in an aqueous solution was investigated using a laboratory scale UV lamp in the presence of H2O2 and for maximum degradation of dye, ...

Pharmacologically potentials of different substituted coumarin derivatives

Mohammad Asif
Coumarin and its derivatives are widely spread in nature. Coumarin goes to a group as benzopyrones, which consists of a benzene ring connected to a pyrone moiety. Coumarins displayed a broad range of pharmacologically useful profile. Coumarins are considered as a promising group of bioactive compounds that exhibited a wide range of biological activities like anti-microbial, anti-viral, antiparasitic, anti-helmintic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-pro...
