The correlation between ionized donor bound exciton recombinations and neutral donor bound exciton recombinations in ZnO has been investigated. The experimental data obtained by means of magnetophotoluminescence (MPL) concerning charge state and localization energies of ionized and neutral donor bound excitons are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The optical selection rules in ab...

Understanding protein–protein interactions (PPIs) is fundamental to describe and characterize the formation of biomolecular assemblies, establish energetic principles underlying biological networks. One key aspect these interfaces existence prevalence hot-spots (HS) residues that, upon mutation alanine, negatively impact such complexes. HS have been widely considered in research, both case stud...

H igh-resolution structures of proteins and their complexes are now appearing in the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) database at a tremendous rate. When analyzing the structures of proteins, it is often tempting to try to extract energetic contributions to stability or binding interactions. However, as many experiments have shown, some specific interactions that look...

the vo(iv) complexes of tridentate ono schiff base ligands derived from 2- aminobenzoicacid and salicylaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and characterized by ir, uv–vis and elemental analysis. electrochemical properties of the vanadyl complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. a good linear correlation was observed between the oxidation potentials and the electron-withdrawing charac...

BACKGROUND Photosynthetic organisms have developed multiple protective mechanisms to prevent photodamage in vivo under high-light conditions. Cyanobacteria and red algae use phycobilisomes (PBsomes) as their major light-harvesting antennae complexes. The orange carotenoid protein in some cyanobacteria has been demonstrated to play roles in the photoprotective mechanism. The PBsome-itself-relate...

New hetero-binuclear Hg-Cu Schiff base complexes were prepared by reaction of 2,2'-[1,1'-(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)-diethyldyne]diphenolato}copper(II) (CuL1) and 6,6'-X-2,2'-[(2,2-‎dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato copper(II) [(X = ethoxy (CuL2) and ‎methoxy (CuL3)], with HgCl2 to give [Cu(L1)HgCl2] (1), [Cu(L2)HgCl2] (2), and [Cu(L3)HgCl2] (3), ‎res...

AbstractThe ability of hesperidin (HP) to form complexes with five metals; cobalt, nickel, zinc, calcium and magnesium was investigated. The complexation was studied using U.V spectroscopic titration, in methanol as well as aqueous buffer solutions (physiological conditions). Potential complexes were studied by IR and NMR spectroscopy, melting point and their solubility were also evaluated. The...
