Article Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HaP) and ionic liquid (IL) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) are newly developed in this assay. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were applied to examine the microscopic and electrochemical characterization of HaP and IL-modified biosensors. The interaction of curcumin with nucleic acids and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) samples was investigated by measuring the changes at the oxidation signals of both curcumin and guanine by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. The optimization of curcumin concentration, DNA concentration, and the interaction time was performed. The interaction of curcumin with PCR samples was also investigated by gel electrophoresis.

This study employed high-pressure microfluidization (HPM) to facilitate the Maillard reaction between quinoa protein (QP) and dextran (DX), systematically examining the effects of various pressures on the conjugate's physicochemical properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the formation of QP-DX conjugates, characterized by a new peak at 1149 cm (covalent CN bond). Secondary and tertiary structure analyses revealed that HPM-assisted Maillard reaction partially unfolded QP molecules, enhancing conformational flexibility and interfacial properties.

The minimum particle size and the highest encapsulation efficiency of the nanoparticles were at mass ratios of RG:HMP = 2:1, RG:MMP = 4:1, and RG:LMP = 2:1. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy show that hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic attraction are the main driving forces for the formation of complexes.

Abstract: This study aims to identify the molecular mechanism of (CM) in regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) associated with diabetic nephropathy (DN) by using network pharmacology and bioinformatic studies. The targets of CM and target of ER stress and DN were obtained from various online databases. Top targets for CM regulating ER stress in DN were identified using PPI network.

Unlabelled: The rise of β-lactamase-mediated resistance in Gram-negative pathogens has created an urgent need for novel inhibitors to preserve antibiotic efficacy. This study explores the potential of curcumin, a natural polyphenol with known antimicrobial properties, as a broad-spectrum inhibitor of class A serine-β-lactamases (SBLs) through comprehensive computational analysis. Using molecular docking, 200 ns molecular dynamics simulations, and binding energy calculations, we investigated curcumin's interactions with three clinically important SBLs: KPC-3, CTX-M-15, and L2.
