Bioremediation: Green Approaches for a Clean and Sustainable Environment
(CRC Press, 2022) Bharagava, Ram Naresh ed.; Khan, Tahmeena; Iqbal Azad; Khan, Abdul Rahman
The present chapter has summarized the heave metal contamination in environment with an emphasis to heavy metal pollution in water. Several diseases are associated with consumption of polluted water and to address the issue numerous remedial measures have been explored, of which biochars have emerged as promising adsorbents. The chapter has taken a closer look at different aspects of biochar including its synthesis, characterization, properties applications and mechanistic action.
Molecular Docking in the Study of Ligand-Protein Recognition: An Overview
(Intechopen, 2023) Iqbal Azad
Molecular docking is a bioinformatics-based theoretical simulation strategy. It is employed to study ligand-protein interaction profiles and predict their binding con- formers and affinity through computational tools. Since the 1980s, computational tools have been used in the drug discovery process. The initial molecular modeling approaches available at the time focused on a rigid view of the ligand-protein interac- tion due to the limited computational capabilities. The advancement of hardware technology has made it possible to simulate the dynamic character of the ligand-protein interactions throughout time. The current chapter deals with an outline of the progres- sion of structure-based drug discovery methodologies in the investigation of the ligand- protein interaction profiles from static to improved molecular docking strategies.
