The results of the toxicity study indicate that afzelin displayed moderate antibacterial potential against staphylococcus aureus with LD50 = 5000 mg/Kg, which is almost four times and a half weaker than that obtained for the commercial antibiotic chloramphenicol. The afzelin and the commercial antibiotic chloramphenicol were subjected to docking studies to understand their interaction with DNA gyrase complex of Staphyloccocus aureus. Results indicated a good affinity of afzelin to the chosen target with the formation of four hydrogen bonds and binding energy of 29.82 KJ/mol. ADME study shows that afzelin is not inhibitors of CYP450 IA2, 2C19, 2C9, 2D6, 3A4 isoenzymes which suggests a decrease in their plasma concentrations and a rapid elimination route.

The WB97XD hybrid formalism method was used for hydrogen adsorption on metallo-porphyrin complexes formed with alkaline metal and alkaline earth metal (Na, K, Mg and Ca) atoms. It was determined that the adsorption energies for all complexes were negative, so that each of them could be a potential adsorbent for hydrogen storage. The adsorption enthalpy (ΔH) was calculated as -21.9 kJ/mol for the Na-Porphyrin (Na-P) complex structure. Moreover, the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity for the Na-P complex was calculated to be ≈5.5 wt%. Thus, the DOE's target for 2025 has been achieved. In addition, van der Waals weak interactions were found to be effective in hydrogen adsorption and storage studies. Based on the electronic properties the metallo-porphyrin complexes could not be used as electronic sensors against the hydrogen molecule.","PeriodicalId":36025,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Computational and Theoretical Chemistry","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73663675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are already some results calculated with DFT methods and published in an article previously. By comparing the results there with those found here, it has been discussed whether semi-empirical methods with much shorter computation times can be used to estimate the most critical aminoacids for the tyrosine kinase enzyme instead of DFT methods which take much more time. According to the results obtained here, in order for semi-empirical methods to be used instead of DFT methods for this purpose, the examined ligands must have an electrical charge in the physiological environment. In other words, the hypothesis put forward remains valid only if the ligand under consideration has a charge. The use of semi-empirical methods such as AM1 and PM3 instead of DFT methods to estimate the residues with which a molecule that does not have any electrical charge interacts most strongly did not yield overlapping results.","PeriodicalId":36025,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Computational and Theoretical Chemistry","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87128794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple studies demonstrated that PDAC is frequently characterized by the presence of Kirsten Rat Sarcoma (KRAS) G12D, G12V, and G12R protein mutants. The mutants are potential immunotherapy targets due to their potential as cancer-specific neoantigens. KRAS G12D, G12V and G12R contain vaccine-immunogenic epitopes. KRAS G12D, G12V and G12R epitopes were presented at major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) class I. The rational design of peptide vaccines to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy is facilitated by developing a peptide structural data library and knowledge of the MHC and antigen presentation processes. Before predicting peptide activity against MHC, homology modeling must transform the peptide into a three-dimensional structure. In this study, I-TASSER was used to perform homology modeling with the assistance of other applications. In silico methods for predicting epitopes to produce rationally designed peptide vaccines can increase the efficacy of these vaccines. This study yielded four epitope models that are potential PDAC vaccination candidates, KSFEDIHHYR, GIPFIETSAK, VVVGARGVGK and VVVGADGVGK.","PeriodicalId":36025,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Computational and Theoretical Chemistry","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91130585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
