X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are used to analyze the structural properties of the films. The results of X-ray diffraction prove that polycrystalline Al:ZnO with a hexagonal wurtzite structure is preferentially oriented on the c-axis, and this is further confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. In addition, 0.09 wt% of Al-doping shows high orientation and homogeneity with the (002) plane, which leads to an increase in the surface roughness properties of the thin films as the root main square by 57.4%. The annealing process at high temperatures increases the conductivity of the Al:ZnO films. The rate of electronic mobility increases slightly with low doping and decreases with increasing doping until it reaches its lowest value (0.1 cm2 (V.s)−1) at a doping ratio of 0.035 wt%. The samples show considerable response for CO at 80 ppm gas concentration with gas responses of 85% and 40% at 90 °C for 0.03 wt% Al:ZnO and ZnO films, respectively.

Employing advanced computational techniques, we initiated the selection process by analyzing and comparing the co-crystallized ligand (VXG) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 helicase protein (PDB ID: 5RMM) to identify compounds with structurally similar features and potential for comparable binding. Through structural similarity and pharmacophore research, 13 compounds that shared important characteristics with VXG were pinpointed. Subsequently, these candidates were subjected to molecular docking to identify seven compounds that demonstrated favorable energy profiles and accurate binding to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 helicase. Among these, mycophenolic acid emerged as the most promising candidate. To ensure the safety and viability of the selected compounds, we conducted ADMET tests, which confirmed the favorable characteristics of mycophenolic acid, and the safety of atropine and plumbagin. Building on these results, we performed additional analyses on mycophenolic acid, including various molecular dynamics simulations. These investigations demonstrated that mycophenolic acid exhibited optimal binding to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 helicase, maintaining flawless dynamics throughout the simulations. Furthermore, the Molecular Mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann Surface Area tests provided strong evidence that mycophenolic acid successfully formed a stable connection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 helicase, with a calculated free energy value of −294 kJ mol−1. These encouraging findings provide a solid foundation for further research, including in vitro and in vivo studies, on the three identified compounds. The potential efficacy of these compounds as treatment options for coronavirus-19 warrants further exploration and may hold significant promise in the ongoing fight against the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":15323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Research","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139457117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
