Enhanced water affinity of histidine by transition metal ions [PDF]
Transitional metal ions widely exist in biological environments and are crucial to many life-sustaining physiological processes. Recently, transition metal ion such as Cu$^{2+}$, Zn$^{2+}$, Ni$^{2+}$, have been shown can increase the solubilities of aromatic biomolecules. Comparing with Cu$^{2+}$, Zn$^{2+}$ shows less enhancement to the solubilities of

Using reweighting and free energy surface interpolation to predict solid-solid phase diagrams [PDF]
Many physical properties of small organic molecules are dependent on the current crystal packing, or polymorph, of the material, including bioavailability of pharmaceuticals, optical properties of dyes, and charge transport properties of semiconductors.

Pharmacokinetics of Cephalexin after Intravenous and Single and Multiple Intramuscular Administration to Rabbit [PDF]
Cephalexin is a first generation cephalosporin widely used in rabbits. Its spectrum includes Pasteurella multocida and Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria, together with Bordetella bronchiseptica, are the main cause of respiratory infections.

Progestin drugs are loaded into a mesoporous silicon dioxide host by melt‐infiltration. Drugs that decompose at or close to their melting point can be loaded by the addition of cholesterol, which acts as a melting point suppressor. High mass loading of the drug is achieved, and dissolution of the composite is controlled by the nanoscale properties of ...

Addition of organic fertilizer affects soil nitrogen availability in a salinized fluvo-aquic soil
Organic matter application was one of the suitable ways to improve soil nitrogen availability in saline soils. In this study, two soils of different levels of total soluble salts, 2.45 g kg−1 (LS) and 4.03 g kg−1 (HS), were used in a pot experiment with ...

Antiviral Drug-Membrane Permeability: the Viral Envelope and Cellular Organelles [PDF]
To shorten the time required to find effective new drugs, like antivirals, a key parameter to consider is membrane permeability, as a compound intended for an intracellular target with poor permeability will have low efficacy. Here, we present a computational model that considers both drug characteristics and membrane properties for the rapid ...

Responses difference analysis of soil potential nitrification rates to Cu and sulfadiazine
To investigate responses difference of soil potential nitrification rates (PNR) to heavy metals and antibiotics, batch toxicity experiments of Cu and sulfadiazine (SDZ) were conducted in four typical soils which were collected from different locations of

Bioavailability of Ag(I) with Arthrobacter oxidas and Arthrobacter globiformis [PDF]
The biosorption of Ag(I)_ Arthrobacter species (Arthrobacter globiformis 151B and Arthrobacter oxidas 61B) was studied at simultaneous application of dialysis and atomic absorption analysis. The biosorption constants and nature of interaction for Ag(I) -Arthrobacter oxidas and Ag(I) -Arthrobacter globiformis were determined.

An Integrated Transfer Learning and Multitask Learning Approach for Pharmacokinetic Parameter Prediction [PDF]
Background: Pharmacokinetic evaluation is one of the key processes in drug discovery and development. However, current absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion prediction models still have limited accuracy. Aim: This study aims to construct an integrated transfer learning and multitask learning approach for developing quantitative structure ...
