Potential broad spectrum inhibitors of the coronavirus 3CLpro: a virtual screening and structure-based drug design study
(MDPI, 2015)
Human coronaviruses represent a significant disease burden; however, there is currently no antiviral strategy to combat infection. The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and Middle East respiratory ...
On the design of smart parking networks in the smart cities: an optimal sensor placement model
(MDPI, 2015)
Smart parking is a typical IoT application that can benefit from advances in
sensor, actuator and RFID technologies to provide many services to its users and parking
owners of a smart city. This paper considers a smart ...
An electrochemical DNA biosensor developed on a nanocomposite platform of gold and poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer
(MDPI, 2008)
An electrochemical DNA nanobiosensor was prepared by immobilization of a
20mer thiolated probe DNA on electro-deposited generation 4 (G4) poly(propyleneimine)
dendrimer (PPI) doped with gold nanoparticles (AuNP) as ...
Bioaccumulation of total mercury in the earthworm Eisenia andrei
(SpringerOpen, 2016)
Earthworms are a major part of the total biomass of soil fauna and play a vital role
in soil maintenance. They process large amounts of plant and soil material and can
accumulate many pollutants that may be present in ...
Cytotoxic, cytostatic and HIV-1 PR inhibitory activities of the soft coral litophyton arboreum
(MDPI, 2013)
Bioassay-guided fractionation using different chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques in the analysis of the Red Sea soft coral Litophyton arboreum led to the isolation of nine compounds; sarcophytol M (1), alismol ...
Testing of eight medicinal plant extracts in combination with kresoxim-methyl for integrated control of botrytis cinerea in apples
(MDPI, 2015)
Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that causes gray mold on many fruit crops. Despite
the availability of a large number of botryticides, the chemical control of gray mold has
been hindered by the emergence of resistant strains. ...
A new vanadium (III) complex of 2,6-Bis(3,5-diphenylpyrazol- 1-ylmethyl)pyridine as a catalyst for ethylene polymerization
(MDPI, 2013)
The tridentate ligand 2,6-bis(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine,
abbreviated as 2,6-[(3,5-ph2pz-CH2)2-py], a new pyridine-pyrazole derivative, was
prepared from 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine and 3,5-diphenylpyrazole. ...
Exploration of scaffolds from natural products with antiplasmodial activities, currently registered antimalarial drugs and public malarial screen data
(MDPI, 2016)
In light of current resistance to antimalarial drugs, there is a need to discover new classes
of antimalarial agents with unique mechanisms of action. Identification of unique scaffolds from
natural products with in vitro ...
Antibacterial activities of bacteria isolated from the marine sponges Isodictya compressa and Higginsia bidentifera collected from Algoa Bay, South Africa
(MDPI AG, 2017)
Due to the rise inmulti-drug resistant pathogens and other diseases, there is renewed interest
in marine sponge endosymbionts as a rich source of natural products (NPs). The South African marine
environment is rich in ...
Identification of new respiratory viruses in the new millennium
(MDPI, 2015)
The rapid advancement of molecular tools in the past 15 years has allowed for the retrospective discovery of several new respiratory viruses as well as the characterization of novel emergent strains. The inability to ...
