Heme-Mediated Charge Transport Modulation: Coupling Biological Recognition to Solid-State Protein Electronics

Abstract Integrating the selectivity of biological recognition with the robustness of solid-state electronics remains a formidable challenge. Here, we demonstrate the functional integration of myoglobin (Mb) and its heme-depleted analogue, apomyoglobin (apoMb), within lithographi...

Two new species of Merogomphus Martin, 1904 (Odonata: Anisoptera: Gomphidae) from the Western Ghats, India

We describe two new species of dragonflies from the Western Ghats Biodiversity Hotspot, Merogomphus aryanadensis sp. nov. from Kerala and M. flavoreductus sp. nov. from Maharashtra, India. Morphologically, these species are closely aligned with M. tamaracherriensis Fraser, 1931,...

Understanding the electrochemistry of polyaniline structural processes, charge, energy and reactive sensing capabilities through coulovoltammetry

A detailed insight into the structural electrochemistry of polyaniline (PANI) has been presented through assessing the electrochemical redox processes of PANI by quantifying charge and electrical energy consumed during the reaction using coulovoltammograms. Coulovoltammetric resp...

Theoretical insights into functionalization-driven nitric oxide binding in calixarene scaffolds

While calixarene-based supramolecular platforms have been widely investigated for the sensing of nitric oxide (NO), the underlying host-guest interactions remain poorly understood. In the present study, dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations were employed to...

Effectiveness of Nurse-Coordinated, Digital-Supported Collaborative Care Model in Reducing Hospital Stay and Mortality Among Patients With Heart Failure: TIME-HF Cluster RCT India

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction causes high mortality and recurrent hospitalizations in India. We evaluated the effectiveness of the collaborative care model in improving days alive and out of the hospital and overall survival. METHODS: We conducted a par...

Damnacanthal from Morinda citrifolia L.: Experimental Characterization, Biological Evaluation, In Silico ADMET Assessment, and Future Perspectives in AI-Assisted Anticancer Drug Discovery

Natural products are a prominent source of structurally diverse bioactive molecules for anticancer drug discovery. Among these, anthraquinones are a class of compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Damnacanthal is a naturally occur...

Effects of Beetroot-Derived Nitrate Supplementation in Highly Trained and Elite Athletes: A Scoping Review of Randomized Controlled Trials on Performance, Recovery, and Physiological Outcomes

Background: Beetroot-derived nitrate supplementation is a widely studied nutritional strategy to enhance athletic performance. Although ergogenic benefits have been reported in recreational and moderately trained individuals, evidence for highly trained and elite athletes remains...
