Comparison Of Clinically Approved Molecules On Sars-Cov-2 Drug Target Proteins: A Molecular Docking Study, Hasan Çubuk, Mehmet Özbi̇l

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The new type of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 has affected more than 22.6 million people worldwide. Since the first day the virus was spotted in Wuhan, China, numerous drug design studies have been conducted all over the globe. Most of these studies target the receptor-binding domain of spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, which is known to bind to the human ACE2 receptor and SARS-CoV-2 main protease, vital for the virus' replication. However, there might be a third target, human furin protease, which cleaves the virus' S1-S2 domains playing an active role in its entry into the host cell. In this study, we docked …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of polymer/clay nanocomposites containing mechanistically two different polymers, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(epsilon caprolactone) (PCL), were prepared by simultaneous copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition click reactions. Both clickable polymers, PEG-Alkyne and PCL-Alkyne, were simultaneously clicked on to azide-functional montmorillonite (MMT-N3) nanoclay to get corresponding PEG-PCL/MMT nanocomposites. The chemical structures of the resulting nanocomposites were verified by following azide and silicone-oxygen bands using FT-IR and characteristic bands of PEG and PCL segments using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The combined XRD and TEM analysis confirmed that all PEG-PCL/MMT nanocomposites had partially exfoliated/ intercalated morphologies. In addition, the increase of MMT-N3 loading not only improved …

A New Electrochemical Impedance Biosensor Based On Aromatic Thiol For Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Determination, Hülya Yağar, Hakki Mevlüt Özcan, Osman Mehmet

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is one of the acute phase proteins which are synthesized in the liver. A1AT inhibits the activity of many proteases, but its main task is to protect the lungs from the attack of neutrophil elastase. In an autosomal hereditary disease known as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, the A1AT level in blood serum decreases, increasing the risk of developing emphysema, liver apoptosis, and liver cancer. Thus, the detection of A1AT concentration in blood serum is very important. In this study, an impedimetric biosensor was developed, forming an SAM (self-assembled monolayer) with 4-mercaptophenylacetic acid (4MPA) on the surface of the …

Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ mixed oxides were synthesized with solid-state dispersion (SSD) and coprecipitation methods. In addition, transition metal oxides such as CuO, NiO, and Co$_{3}$O$_{4}$ were successfully loaded on the synthesized catalyst (Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$) using the SSD method. The composite catalysts were inspected for their photocatalytic activities in degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol under UV light enforcement. The produced samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and the Brunauer-Emmett- Teller method. The addition of transition metal oxides improved the photocatalytic activity of Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$5 (SSD). 1CuO wt% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ exhibited the highest percentage of 2,4-dichlorophenol …

In this work, we study the elimination of three bivalent metal ions (Cd$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, and Pb$^{2+}$) by adsorption onto natural illitic clay (AM) collected from Marrakech region in Morocco. The characterization of the adsorbent was carried out by X-ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The influence of physicochemical parameters on the clay adsorption capacity for ions Cd$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, and Pb$^{2+}$, namely the adsorbent dose, the contact time, the initial pH imposed on the aqueous solution, the initial concentration of the metal solution and the temperature, was studied. The adsorption process is evaluated by different kinetic models such …
