Carbohydrates (also known as saccharides) are the chemical moieties composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Based upon their association they are known as monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. ...

Flavonoid, the biggest class of secondary metabolite, are are found in vegetable, parsley, fruits, and wine. They are divided into distinct subgroups such as flavanols or catechins, flavones, flavanonols, flavanones, and ...

The morphology and physicochemical properties of polydopamine are not totally inherent and undergo changes with differing reaction conditions like the choice of solvent used for polymerization. The polymerisation of dopamine ...

Background: Among the neglected tropical diseases, leishmaniasis continues to be prevalent in many tropical and subtropical countries despite international, national, and local efforts towards its control and elimination ...

Objectives: In the present study, we targeted the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate which is required for the purines and pyrimidine synthesis. Malaria is one ...
