BACKGROUND We study the human serum albumin (HSA) protein-CuO nanoparticle interaction to identify the specific binding site of protein with CuO nanoparticles by molecular docking and compared it with HSA-TiO2 nanoparticle interaction. METHODS The protein structural data that was obtained using Autodock 4.2. RESULTS In case of CuO np-HSA interaction, the distances from the centre of Subdoma...

The available data on the present distribution of Cepaea nemoralis in Ukraine, Belarus and European part Russia, history possible ways penetration this species into various parts Eastern Europe, as well colour banding polymorphism its shells are analyzed. It has been suggested that process rapid spreading C. three compared countries began at approximately same time (late 20th – early 21st centu...

Sandplain heathlands are disturbance-dependent plant communities that occur infrequently in coastal areas of the northeastern United States. We hypothesize that salt spray plays a role in maintaining the composition of the heathland community by excluding salt-intolerant species close to the ocean. We examined the distributions of Solidago nemoralis, Myrica pensylvanica, Pinus rigida, and Querc...
