Proteins and peptides, built from precisely defined amino acid sequences, are an important class of biomolecules that play a vital role in most biological functions. Preparation nanostructures through functionalization natural, hydrophilic proteins/peptides with synthetic polymers or upon self-assembly all-synthetic amphiphilic copolypept(o)ides acid-containing enables access to novel protein-m...

After the boom of pharmacological research during the 1950s, mainly as a result of the screening technique, the identification of active molecules, their reshaping by means of pharmaco-chemical drug design, and the creation of extremely efficacious and successful medicines, the pharmaceutical world sought a new source of inspiration. Such biota as the tropical forest, a quantity of plants credi...

In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...

Pharmaceutical industry is currently undergoing a transient phase with new orientation. Loss of financial resources, presence of new therapeutic agents and increasing cost of research and development have called for a full.scale restructuring within the pharmaceutical industry to retain even the most basic competitiveness. The development of new technologies has been as one way out of the dile...

in this work, the optimization calculations were carried out on quetiapine hemifumarat, 4, and its analogues, 1-5. these calculations were carried out using the b3lyp/6-31g(d) level of theory. the dft calculations clarified a boat structure for dibenzothiazepine moiety of the molecule which piperazine moiety has a chair conformation. thermal energies (e), enthalpies (h), and free energies (g) o...
