The frontier molecular orbital, molecular electrostatic potential, natural bond orbital parameters, thermodynamic properties, and first-order hyperpolarizability of the adenine monomer, hydroxychloroquine monomer, and their interacting state are calculated by Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr method with a basis set of 6-311G + (d, p). The Quantum Theory Atoms in Molecules study is performed for investigating the topological parameters, such as the density of electrons, the Laplacian of electron density, and the energy density. The vibrational assignment of the individual and interacting molecules is accomplished through the Vibrational Energy Distribution Analysis program. The theoretical and experimental values show good agreement with one another. The drug-likeliness behavior of the biomolecular complex is also studied. The molecular docking studies of the molecules are carried out against human synovial fluid sPLA2 to determine the best binding sites.","PeriodicalId":21953,"journal":{"name":"Spectroscopy Letters","volume":"55 1","pages":"579 - 606"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49243155","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}

Therefore, this paper proposes a rapid and accurate method for identifying the origins of P. notoginseng by collecting the roots of P. notoginseng. This paper improves the whale optimization algorithm in terms of global convergence and convergence speed, introduces the Levy flight strategy and reconstructed whale synergy factor A, and applies it to the parameter optimization of support vector machines, to obtain a high-performance classification model. The improved whale optimization algorithm model identifies the origin of P. notoginseng by discriminating their terahertz spectra. Compared with the commonly used genetic algorithm and the original whale optimization algorithm, improvement in the whale optimization algorithm was able to avoid falling into local optimum solutions more effectively while having a high convergence rate. Accordingly, the improved whale optimization algorithm optimized support vector machine model obtained an overall accuracy of 98.44%, which was significantly higher than the 95.31% overall accuracy of the genetic algorithm optimized support vector machine model and the 96.88% overall accuracy of the whale optimization algorithm optimized support vector machine model. It was concluded that terahertz spectroscopy together with machine learning would be a promising technique for identifying the origins of P. notoginseng.","PeriodicalId":21953,"journal":{"name":"Spectroscopy Letters","volume":"55 1","pages":"566 - 578"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43077007","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}

The following wavelengths were used for the detection of analytes 309.2713 nm for Al, 228.8018 nm for Cd, 324.7540 nm for Cu, 313.2594 nm for Mo, and 217.0005 nm for Pb. The detection limits for the methods were 0.022 mg kg−1 for Al, 0.0003 mg kg−1 for Cd, 0.001 mg kg−1 for Cu, 0.009 mg kg−1 for Mo, and 0.002 mg kg−1 for Pb.

The accuracy of the method was evaluated through recovery tests, which ranged from 92.2% for Cd to 107.2% for Al.

Hence, a relatively low cost and portable Raman spectrometer was designed with the commercially available components. The compatible software for its use like the graphical user interface and the calibration program were developed. With this spectrometer the Raman shifts obtained with the standard compounds—benzene, chloroform and glacial acetic acid, were quite compatible with the available standard reports. Then, piperine was estimated in black pepper (Piper nigrum) seed extracts and the coefficient of determination (R 2) of 0.98 was obtained for the regression between the high performance liquidchromatography estimates and those based on the Raman spectrometer.

(Fam.

To ensure the quality and safety of DG and its processed products, this paper mainly focused on the feasibility of rapidly determining the quality of DG and its processed products by benchtop-NIR spectrometer and Micro-NIR spectrometer. A total of 100 samples were scanned by benchtop-NIR spectrometer and Micro-NIR spectrometer respectively. The collected NIRS data were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by different models. The partial least squares discriminant models established based on the benchtop-NIR and Micro-NIR spectroscopy both have a discrimination rate of 100% for the prediction set. Three characteristic wavelength selection methods (CARS, VCPA-IRIV and VCPA-GA) were used to improve the performance of partial least squares regression model. The results showed that the benchtop-NIR model with the wavelength selected by the CARS algorithm performed best, and the Micro-NIR model performance of the characteristic wavelength selected by the VCPA-IRIV algorithm had a better prediction ability. The consistency evaluation of the prediction models showed that the two instruments had a very good coherence except for the zingerone model. Therefore, A micro-NIR spectrometer combined with an appropriate wavelength selection method can precisely distinguish DG, LCG, MCG and HCG from each other and accurately determine the five gingerol compounds in DG and its processed products.","PeriodicalId":21953,"journal":{"name":"Spectroscopy Letters","volume":"55 1","pages":"514 - 526"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45559155","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}

Among them, the silver clusters with 30 silver atoms show weak original fluorescence intensity and can be used to detect ferric ions based on enhancement of fluorescence.
