This study employed density functional theory (DFT) computational techniques at the ωB97XD/def2svp level of to comprehensively explore electronic behavior Fe-group transition metal (Fe, Ru, Os) coordination Se-doped graphitic carbon (Se@g-C3N4) nanosystems in smart delivery zidovudine (ZVD), an antiretroviral drug. The HOMO-LUMO results interactions show a general reduction energy gap values across all complexes following order: ZVD_Se@C3N4 < ZVD_Ru_Se@C3N4 ZVD_Fe_Se@C3N4 ZVD_Os_Se@C3N4. exhibits smallest post-interaction band 3.783 eV, while ZVD_Os_Se@C3N4 presents highest 5.438 eV. Results from corrected adsorption (BSSE) revealed that Os_Se@C3N4 and Ru_Se@C3N4 demonstrated more negative energies -2.67 -2.701 respectively, pointing favorable interaction between ZVD these systems, thus potentially enhancing drug efficiency. investigation into release mechanism adsorbents involved comprehensive examination dipole moment influence pH, shedding light on controlled ZVD. Additionally, investigating decomposition analysis (EDA) exhibited same total -787.7 kJ mol-1. intriguing similarity their levels suggested stability was governed by factors beyond reactivity, possibly due intricate orbital interactions. Furthermore, analyzing bond dissociation showed systems enthalpy values, indicating were exothermic both surface levels, suggesting processes emitted heat, contributing surrounding thermal energy.

With increasing incidences of antifungal resistance, biofilm formation, and its predilection for vulnerable populations, Candida albicans have been reported to cause a wide range infections, from superficial skin irritations life-threatening systemic diseases. Therefore, understanding addressing the infections associated with has become an urgent imperative in realm global healthcare. As result, this study employed DFT calculations at DFT/ωB97XD/6–311++G (2d, 2p) level optimize geometric properties two compounds: (Z)-N'-(4-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)thiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)thiazole-5-carbohydrazide (4-FBC) (Z)-N'-(4-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(2-fluorophenyl)thiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)thiazole-5-carbohydrazide(2-FBC). Significantly, employing spectral analysis techniques such as FT-IR NMR, compounds were characterized identified. Additionally, (4-FBC 2-FBC) exhibited comparable reactivity stability, more promising potential water than gas phase. The Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MESP) density States (DOS) shed light on electrical characteristics intermolecular interactions occurring during chemical processes. Furthermore, natural bond orbital (NBO) provided insights into second-order perturbation energies presence intense interactions, evident order their concentrated interaction thus: 4-FBC_gas (668.34 kcal/mol) > 4-FBC _water (563.98 2-FBC _gas (978.64 Kcal/mol) 2-FBC_water (696.46 Kcal/mol). pharmacokinetics indicated favorable intestinal absorption, low distribution, cytotoxicity profiles, although required further optimization due slower clearance, enzyme immunotoxicity concerns. In addition, molecular docking revealed robust binding affinities significant conventional hydrogen bonds. optimal positions (best pose) complexes determined -8.7, -8.4, -8.3 kcal/mol, -8.6, -8.5, respectively, when interacting 4YDE, 3DRA, 1EAG. These findings provide strong evidence supporting pharmacological suitability effective choices inhibiting treating albicans.

Owing to the fact that use of 2,2-dichlorovinyldimethylphosphate (DDVP) as an agrochemical has become a matter concern due its persistence and potential harm environment human health. Detecting addressing DDVP contamination is crucial protect health mitigate ecological impacts. Hence, this study focuses on harnessing properties fullerene (C60) carbon materials, known for their biological activities high importance, develop efficient sensor DDVP. Additionally, sensor's performance enhanced by doping it with gallium (Ga) indium (In) metals investigate sensing trapping capabilities molecules. The detection carefully examined using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) at Def2svp/B3LYP-GD3(BJ) level theory, specifically analyzing adsorption chlorine (Cl) oxygen (O) sites. energies Cl site were determined - 57.894 kJ/mol, 78.107 99.901 kJ/mol Cl_DDVP@C60, Cl_DDVP@Ga@C60, Cl_DDVP@In@C60 interactions, respectively. At O site, found be 54.400 114.060 114.056 O_DDVP@C60, O_DDVP@Ga@C60, O_DDVP@In@C60, energy analysis highlights chemisorption strength between surfaces molecule sites adsorption, indicating exhibits higher energy, which more favorable according thermodynamics analysis. Thermodynamic parameters (∆H ∆G) obtained from suggest considerable stability indicate spontaneous reaction in order O_DDVP@Ga@C60 > O_DDVP@In@C60 O_DDVP@C60. These findings demonstrate metal-decorated adsorbed biomolecule offer sensitivity detecting organophosphate
