Molybdenum-doped iron oxide nanostructures synthesized via a chemical co-precipitation route for efficient dye degradation and antimicrobial performance: in silico molecular docking studies

Abstract

In this research, various concentrations of molybdenum (2, 4 and 6 wt%) doped Fe3O4 nanostructures (Mo-Fe3O4 NSs) were prepared via a co-precipitation technique.

Efficient Dye Degradation and Antibacterial Activity of Carbon Dots/Chitosan-Doped La2O3 Nanorods: In Silico Molecular Docking Analysis

“…The potential involvement of nanostructures as bactericidal agents has widely been documented; yet, the reason for their efficacy remains a mystery. The disruption of many cellular processes by antagonizing enzyme targets is regarded as a viable technique for discovering novel antibacterial drugs. , In the case of FabI E. coli , both CS-doped La 2 O 3 and CS- and CDs-doped La 2 O 3 exhibited excellent binding scores of 4.76 and 5.50, respectively. Nine H-bonds, namely, Gly13, Ser19, Ile20, Ser91, Ile92, Gly93, Tyr156, Pro191, and Ile192, were the primary contributors to the formation of the docked complex in CS-doped La 2 O 3 nanocomposites (Figure a,b).…”

Catalytic performance and antibacterial behaviour with molecular docking analysis of silver and polyacrylic acid doped graphene quantum dots

“…The prominent oxygen peak in doped samples generated from PAA, chemical formula (C 3 H 4 O 2 ) n . 64 The chloride (Cl) and sodium (Na) peaks ascribed to HCl and NaOH were used in the synthesis to sustain the pH. The Ag peak confirmed the existence of Ag in doped samples, while small Au peaks attributed to the coating on the samples minimized charging effects 52,65 (Fig.…”

The Promise of Metal-Doped Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as Antimicrobial Agent

“…[24][25][26]28,30,32 Studies of NDI and ZDI have shown higher MIC with the lowest amount on E. coli, B. subtilis, S. typhi, K. pneumonia, while MDI has shown no significant inhibition of E. coli at the highest concentration (Table 1). 32 MIC and minimum bactericidal concentration were not reported in most studies. 25,[29][30][31][32]34,36,51,116 Although research by Ivashchenko et al ( 2015) reported a higher antimicrobial activity of doped-IONPs combined with antibiotics.…”

“…118 Doped-IONPs and bare IONPs shared similar mechanism of actions from generating ROS for disrupting the bacterial DNA and membrane, leading to cell death eventually. 25,[28][29][30][31][32]34,36,51,52,116…”
