Modified nucleotides are resource-intensive alternatives to the four nucleotides that constitute the bulk of natural RNAs. Yet, even in cases where modifications are highly conserved, their functions are difficult to identify. One possible function might be to modulate the stability of RNA structures. To investigate this possibility for N 2-methylguanosine (m2G), which is present in a wide vari...

New efficient photocatalysts are required to remediate polluted urban atmospheres. We prepared a series of highly dispersed aqueous miscible organic (AMO) solvent treated NiTi layered double hydroxide (NixTi-AMO-LDHs (x = 2,3)) and studied their performance in the photocatalytic abatement NOx gases. These can be by simple scalable coprecipitation method at room temperature. NixTi-AMO-LDHs 2,3) ...

Controlling the particle size as well porosity and shape of silica nanoparticles is always a big challenge while tuning their properties. Here, we designed cost-effective, novel, green synthetic method for preparation perforated hollow mesoporous (PHMS-1) using very minute amount cationic surfactant in o/w-type (castor oil water) emulsion at room temperature. The grafting Al(III) through post-s...

In this study simple catalytic test experiment was performed in a flask of rotary evaporator for dechlorination of nitrochlorobenzene (NCB) over two samples of Ni/LaAl2 O3 nanocatalysts (C1 and C2). In the reaction, Ni acts as a catalyst to collect hydrogen gas in aqueous solution and dissociate it to produce active hydrogen atoms for replacing the chlorine. The catalysts were characterized by ...

In this paper, a facile method for preparing sub-micron spherical mesoporous silica by the sol-gel process and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a soft template was reported. Moreover, the effect of surfactant concentration on the specific surface area and the total pore volume was investigated. The specific surface area, pore characteristic, morphology, chemical comp...

Several drugs have sparked interest as potential COVID-19 treatment options. Doxycycline (DOX) has been widely used with other agents to reduce COVID-19-induced inflammation. DOX and OFLX, both well-known antimicrobial anti-inflammatory drugs, were chosen model pollutants. Fe, Cu-codoped TiO2-SiO2 was synthesised a novel photocatalyst active under sunlight irradiation treat The catalyst samples...
