Exploring the structure and stability of β-dipeptide – A quantum chemical and molecular dynamics study

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations followed by molecular dynamics study has been performed to analyze the structure and stability of β-dipeptide structures in aqueous medium. From DFT study, three local minima with folded conformations and one local minimum with unfolded conformation have been identified. In gas phase, the most stable β-dipeptide has a folded conformation with a weak hydrogen bonding. The interaction of water molecules, approximated from the first solvation shell, also confirms the folded conformation to be the most stable structure. The DFT optimized β-dipeptide conformers have been simulated in explicit water to evaluate the tendency of folded and unfolded state formation. Simulations confirmed the transition of the structure from folded to unfolded and vice versa and further indicated the former to happen rapidly within a few pico second time scale

An experimental and modelling study of selected heavy metals removal from aqueous solution using Scylla serrata as biosorbent

This study was conducted using crab shells as a biosorbent to remove Cu and Cd with different initial concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/L in a biosorption treatment process. Crab shells were selected as biosorbents due to their abundance in the environment and ready availability as waste products from the market place. This study aimed to determine the ability of Scylla Serrata shells to remove Cu and Cd in an aqueous solution, as well as to provide a comparison of the removal rate between the two metals. The data were incorporated into hydrochemical software, PHREEQC, to investigate the chemical speciation distribution of each heavy metal. The shells of S. Serrata were found to have a significant (p<0.05) ability to remove Cu and Cd following the treatment. After six hours of treatment, the crab shells had removed 60 to 80% of both metals. However, the highest removal percentage was achieved for Cu with up to 94.7% removal rate in 5 mg/L initial Cu concentration, while 85.1% of Cd was removed in 1 mg/L initial solution, respectively. It can be concluded that the shells of S. Serrata could remove Cu and Cd better with significant results (p<0.05) in 1 and 5 mg/L initial concentrations, respectively

Occurrence of teleomorphic phase of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides sensu lato, the incitant of black pepper anthracnose

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides sensu lato, the ascomycetous pathogen is a major constraint in black pepper cultivation. In the present study, surveys carried out in black pepper cultivating regions of Karnataka, India revealed the prevalence of anthracnose disease manifested as diverse array of foliar symptoms. An atypical foliar symptom was also noticed in the black pepper nurseries, characterized by grayish necrotic lesions with brown-blackish margins and randomly distributed blackish structures of pin-head size in the lesion area manifested particularly on the older leaves. The pin-head structures produced orangish exudation embedded with asci, ascospores and perithecia, when incubated under high humid conditions. Typical anthracnose symptoms were developed on susceptible host in pathogenicity studies and subsequent isolation yielded two distinct colonies designated as black and orange. The perithecia were induced artificially under in vitro conditions, which retained fertility and infectivity more than three months. Alternation of generation was observed when the perithecia were cultured on potato dextrose medium which resulted in the formation of acervuli with abundant conidiation. The results of present investigation shed light into the occurrence and potential role of perithecial (teleomorphic) phase in the survival of C. gloeosporioides s. l. infecting black pepper
