[ 1 ] - Attenuation Kinetics and Desorption Performance of artocarpus altilis Seed Husk for Co (II), Pb (II) and Zn (II) Ions

The potential of Bread Fruit (artocarpus altilis)Seed Husk (BFSH) as low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Pb (II), Zn (II) and Co (II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by the Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR)spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The batch methodology was utilized to dete...

[ 2 ] - Docking and Biological Screening of Bezo[A]phenothiazinones as Novel Inhibitors of Bacterial Peptidogloycan Transpeptidase

Rising cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health concern. Many approved antibiotics target penicillin-binding proteins example peptidoglycan transpeptidase (PTPase). Due to wide pharmacological activity of phenothiazines, new styryl, aryl, alkynyl, and thiophenyl benzo[a]phenothiazines were synthesized and their inhibitory potency against PTPasein silico and Gram-po...
