Characterization studies

Synthesized activated carbon and raw material were prepared for analysis by thoroughly grinding in an agate mortar. The ground-activated carbon was subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Leo EV040), X-ray…

The surface tension of the graphite ink was measured to be ~ 6.2 dynes/cm using the pendant drop method (Fig. S1b)³⁶. The surface energy of copper foil (substrate) was also measured with de-ionized (DI) water and hexadecane as 76 dynes/cm based…

Identification of B. rapa root oil constituents by GC/MS

Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was employed to examine the volatile constituents of B. rapa root oil cultivated in Egypt. A total of ten compounds were noticed and…

The application of Green by Design (GbD) in UV spectroscopy has proven effective in developing environmentally friendly spectrophotometric methods^6,7. In this study, we conducted extensive molecular mechanical, photochemical quantum and…

Impact of TBEP on lung cancer

To investigate the potential molecular mechanisms by which TBEP influences lung cancer, we identified overlapping targets between TBEP-associated proteins and lung cancer-related genes, constructed protein interaction…

Chemistry

In this study, a series of uracil derivatives/ursolic acid hybrids have been synthesised, including eight ursoloil esters of N-monosubstituted uracil derivatives (4a-6a, 8a-10a, 5a’, 9a’) and two S-monosubstituted derivatives of…

Structure retrieval

Protein structure that was retrieved from Protein Data Bank with RCSB-PDB ID: 7SCW and resolution 1.98 as given below (Fig. 1):

The United Nations’ newly formed intergovernmental panel advising on policy around chemicals, waste and pollution faces a gargantuan and complex task. Given the complexity of negotiations so far, even the preliminary agreement to form the…

A new large language model (LLM) named Chemma could redefine AI’s contributions to organic chemistry, offering a faster, smarter approach to reaction prediction and synthesis planning. However, some chemists remain wary, warning that scientists…

A team of researchers in the US and China has calculated that extreme pressure could theoretically allow stable covalent helium–fluorine bonds to form, challenging the idea that helium is a chemically inert element.

Noble gases get their…
