The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was conducted to evaluate the possibility of the destabilization effect of platinum(II) curcumin on Aβ oligomers. The diversion of RMSD, RMSF, MSD, potential energy, and SASA trends indicate Aβ fibril instability in the presence of platinum(II) curcumin complex. The notable decline in the number of hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, and β-sheet content results in the conformational changes in the Aβ fibril structure and the reduction of its neurotoxicity.

Here, we have regulated the redox reactions caused by CE between water and florine-doped tin oxide (FTO) with various functional groups, as well as their electron transfer processes during the contact. It is revealed that the -COOH FTO sample has a larger work function than the no functional group FTO and -OH FTO samples and can easily accept electrons to promote electron transfer from water-solid heterojunctions in CE by density functional calculation. The nitrate reduction and nitrite oxidation experiments showed that the redox capacity of the water – FTO heterojunction with -COOH is much more than that of the water – FTO heterojunction with -OH or fewer functional groups in the CE process. The redox capacity of the water-FTO CE originates from reduction and oxidation species, which was confirmed by the electron transfer and active species detection analysis.
