Article Abstract
Food safety problems caused by microbial contamination (biotoxins, foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria, etc.) have always been a hot issue in food research, which seriously threatens people's health. In order to deeply analyze the principle of microbial contamination and ensure food safety from the root, the research on microbial biomolecular interactions with the help of molecular simulation technology has attracted wide attention. With the improvement of computer power, molecular simulation technology has become a hot spot in the research fields of microbial biotoxin mechanism and target finding, novel antimicrobial peptide design and bacteriostatic small-molecule drug design with the advantage of its high precision. In this paper, based on the current development of molecular simulation technology including protein molecular modeling, molecular docking and molecular dynamics, we systematically review the progress of the application of molecular simulation technology in the field of microbial contamination of food and discuss its future development prospects.

The research employed zirconyl oxychloride as a catalyst in a reaction involving pyrazole aldehyde, (thio)urea, and acetyl acetone to establish an aqueous approach for synthesizing 3,4-dihydropyrimidinone derivatives (compounds 4a-j) with potential claims as antidiabetic agents. FT-IR, HR-MS, H NMR and C NMR were employed to analyze the synthesized compounds. The HOMO-LUMO analysis was performed to evaluate the stability of the synthesized derivatives.

One of the most significant problems facing the scientific community in the 21st century is diabetes mellitus. There is an urgent need to create new powerful compounds that can fight this terrible disease because the number of instances of diabetes and drug-resistant diabetes is rising. We have synthesized a novel series of thiazole-derived thiadiazole-based Schiff base derivatives (1-10) in an effort to identify potential antidiabetic agents.

Objectives: Antibiotic resistance towards penicillin has been attempted to counter by chemically modifying ampicillin through the conjugation with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The current study optimizes the conditions for synthesizing and characterizing AgNP-ampicillin to quantify the conjugation extent, evaluate the antibacterial efficacy, and explore the underlying antibacterial mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: AgNPs were synthesized from silver nitrate by chemical reduction method, silica-coated with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and amine functionalized by (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), which was then conjugated with ampicillin via the carbodiimide chemistry.
