Hydrothermal vents are chemosynthetically driven ecosystems and one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Vent communities exhibit remarkable taxonomic novelty at species supra-species levels, over 80% vent endemic. Here, we used mitochondrial DNA to identify biogeographic distribution Munidopsis lauensis heme-binding regions A1-type COX1 from six (including M. lauensis) investigate whethe...

In the present study, a zinc(II) complex with 4-ethynyl-2,2?-bipyridine (ebpy), [Zn(ebpy)Cl2], was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (1H NMR, IR UV-Vis) methods molar conductivity measurement. The crystal structure of [Zn(ebpy)Cl2] determined single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, confirming bidentate coordination ebpy ligand through its two nitrogen atoms, while remaining site...

A novel ternary Schiff base ligand (HL) of ONO type and its copper (II) complex weresynthesised using 2-aminophenol and o-acetoacetotoluidide. They have been characterised by theusual analytical and spectral methods. The interaction of the complex with calf-thymus (CT)DNA has been investigated by UV-Vis, viscosity measurement, cyclic voltammetry anddifferential pulse voltammetry studies. The re...

In the course of various biological processes, specific DNA-binding proteins must efficiently find a particular target sequence/protein or damaged site on DNA. perform this task based diffusion. Nevertheless, investigations over recent decades have found that diffusion dynamics are generally complicated and, further, protein specific. review, we collect experimental and theoretical studies quan...

background: development of safe radioprotector is a challenging task. in this study radioprotective effect of sucrose has been demonstrated in calf thymus dna (ctdna). sucrose is a free radical scavenger and also acts as osmolyte and therefore can influence the water activity around dna and effects of radiation on dna. hoechst 33258 was used to probe the possible alteration in physicochemical p...
