In the absence of MI, the white ruffle trap caught 7-22× more thrips than the control Bug-scan trap. A similarly designed blue ruffle trap and a modified Lynfield trap caught lower thrips numbers than the white ruffle and the control Bug-scan traps. Presence of MI substantially increased the captures of T. tabaci in all three trap types in the field (2.5-18×). In the greenhouse, without MI the white ruffle trap caught 3.5-14× more thrips than the Bug-scan, blue ruffle, or modified Lynfield traps. Presence of MI increased the captures of F. occidentalis males and females in the Lynfield and blue ruffle traps (1.4-2.8×), but not in the white ruffle trap in the greenhouse (ca. 1.1×). The importance of visual and olfactory factors for the design of effective auto-dissemination and lure-and-infect strategies for thrips management is discussed.A 12-year-old neutered male German shepherd dog was evaluated after dying suddenly at home. A few hours prior to the unexpected death the dog displayed anorexia and lethargy. Post-mortem examination and histopathology led to a diagnosis of marked hemoabdomen and hypovolemia due to a single ruptured splenic hemangiosarcoma.The goals of this retrospective study were to determine the frequency of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp. (MRS) isolated from horses admitted to an equine veterinary teaching hospital in Quebec from 2008 to 2018, investigate the patterns of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and evaluate the distribution of MRS and methicillin-sensitive Staphyloccocus spp. (MSS) by body site. During this period, 311 Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from 273 horses and 127 of these isolates were submitted to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Of these 127 isolates, 24 (18.9%) were MRS, and among the S. aureus (n = 76), 19 (25%) were MRS. The odds of detecting an MRS increased (25%) each year [95% confidence interval (CI) (1% to 55%), P = 0.039]. The highest frequencies of resistance were to tetracycline and gentamicin. Among the MRS isolates, 12% were susceptible to both tetracycline and gentamicin. The most frequently sampled body sites were "soft-tissues." There was no significant difference (P = 0.93) in the body site distribution of MRS and MSS isolates.Deans use passion, integrative thinking, communication skills, charisma, and other leadership skills to build collaborations to advance academic innovation, promote societal awareness of veterinary medicine, and enhance diversity and inclusion. This study analyzed the educational and experiential backgrounds as well as the ethnicity and gender of veterinary medical college deans in the United States and Canada. Data were collected on the deans using public sources from 1966 when the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges was started, until 2018. It was found that the advent of specialty colleges led to more visibility of clinical credentials of deans; about 17% of the deans were pathologists, and few deans came from basic science disciplines. The data show that an overwhelming majority of deans have been Caucasian male and very few were racialized/non-Caucasian academics. There are growing numbers of women veterinarians becoming deans. These data may provide some insights on how to assemble leadership training programs to create a more diverse pool of academic veterinary leaders so that more women and ethnic minorities can aspire to become deans.High pulmonary blood pressure contributes to exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage. The objective of this study was to use bioimpedance spectroscopy to assess body fluid compartment volumes under 3 conditions in 6 racehorses i) Pre- and post-supramaximal treadmill exercise (control); ii) Exercise 4 hours after furosemide (0.5 mg/kg body weight, IV); iii) Exercise, removal of ~14 L of blood and subsequent reinfusion of the blood. Statistical analysis used linear mixed effects models. Body compartment volumes did not change during the control runs. Total body water (TBW) (P = 0.007, P = 0.007), extracellular fluid (ECF) (P = 0.003, P = 0.003), and intracellular fluid (ICF) volumes (P = 0.04, P = 0.04) decreased pre- and post-exercise following furosemide administration. The ICF trended to decrease (P = 0.07) after slow removal of blood. Blood reinfusion increased TBW (P = 0.02, P = 0.02) and ICF (P = 0.005, P = 0.005) pre- and post-exercise.This study compared the quality of sedation with dexmedetomidine or alfaxalone during brainstem auditory-evoked response (BAER) tests in 6- to 17-week-old dogs. This was a prospective, randomized clinical study involving 19 client-owned pediatric dogs of breeds with reported congenital deafness. Group A (GA) received alfaxalone, 2 mg/kg body weight (BW) (n = 9) and group D (GD) dexmedetomidine, 0.005 mg/kg BW, and postprocedure antagonism with atipamezole (n = 10) intramuscularly. Time from injection to sedation, duration of sedation, sedation scores, need for re-dosing, rectal temperature, pulse and respiratory rate were recorded at baseline, before and after the BAER test, and once recovered from sedation. Pulse rate was significantly lower in GD (P = 0.004) and the number of re-dosing was significantly higher in GA (P = 0.011). Both sedation protocols allowed good quality BAER test recordings in pediatric dogs. Sedation with dexmedetomidine required less re-dosing, whereas alfaxalone maintained more physiological pulse rates.The objectives of this study were to determine whether weaned pigs with low hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations grow more slowly and produce poorer antibody response to vaccination compared to pigs with normal Hb concentrations, and to study the association between high levels of zinc oxide in feed and continued anemia in pigs during the nursery phase. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/itd-1.html At weaning, pigs were classified as anemic ( 110 g/L Hb). Pigs were vaccinated twice against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and antibody response was measured 3 weeks after the last vaccination. Two trials were performed with diets containing 150 mg/kg of zinc oxide and a third trial was conducted with pigs fed a diet containing 3000 mg/kg of zinc oxide for 2 weeks post-weaning. Hemoglobin status didn't impact growth rate or antibody response to vaccination. High zinc levels in the feed did not alter the pattern of Hb concentrations in pigs post-weaning.

Given the many nonspecific imaging features, awareness of these diseases and good communication with clinicians aid in reaching an accurate diagnosis.
Patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) suffer from pronounced impairments in physical and mental measures that result in an impairment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The role of secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI) and especially the one of the hydrocortisone (HC) replacement dose on the HRQOL seems to be conflicting. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ap20187.html of this study is to assess the HRQOL in patients with NFPA in terms of presence of SAI and in patients without SAI and the secondary to explore the impact of treatment parameters such as daily HC dose.

In a cross-sectional study we evaluated parameters of HRQOL in 95 patients with NFPA of the Endocrine Outpatient Unit of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich using standardized questionnaires like Short Form (SF-36), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a self-constructed questionnaire about medical history.

We could not find any significant difference between patients with and without SAI in the standardized questionnaires in terms of HRQOL. We could show that higher doses of HC were negatively correlated with HRQOL measured by SF-36 global health score regardless of using BDI or STAI in the block (β =  - 0.397; p = 0.021, β =  - 0.390; p = 0.016, respectively).

NFPA patients with SAI do not have a worse HRQOL than patients with NFPA and intact corticotropic axis. We could show that higher doses of HC are associated with an impaired HRQOL measured by SF-36 global and physical health score, whereas mental health score is not significantly influenced by the HC dose.

The Glissonean pedicle approach is a widely used technique in anatomical liver resection1. The Glissonean pedicle approach can be divided into the extrafacial approach (conventional Glissonean approach) and the transfissural approach2,3,4. #link# We present pure laparoscopic anatomical segmentectomy in tertiary portal pedicles with anatomical variations and a deep location using the transfissural Glissonean approach.

According to the branching pattern of the tertiary portal pedicles, selection of the extrafascial or the transfissural approach was determined. The tertiary portal pedicles around the liver hilum can be dissected using the extrafascial approach. The transfissural approach was applied when the tertiary portal pedicles were multiple, variable, and located deep within the liver. These pedicles can be dissected after parenchymal transection along the fissure lines (resection of segment 6 right portal fissure; resection of segment 3 umbilical fissure).

Patients underwent anatomical resection of segments 6 (n = 8; extrafascial 5; transfissural 3) and 3 (n = 4; extrafascial 1; transfissural 3). The median operative time was 200 min (range 110-250 min), and the median blood loss was 100 mL (range 40-350 mL). The median tumor size was 18.5 mm (range 11-30 mm). All patients were negative resection margin. The median postoperative hospital stay was 5.5 days (range 4-8 days).

The tertiary portal pedicles can be dissected using the extrafascial or the transfissural approach. The transfissural approach in tertiary portal pedicles with anatomical variations and a deep location is a useful and effective method because opening the fissure lines allows direct access to these pedicles.

Data analysis during UPLC-MS non-targeted metabolomics introduces variation as different manufacturers use specific algorithms for data treatment and this makes untargeted metabolomics an application for the discovery of new biomarkers with low confidence in the reproducibility of the results under the use of different metabolomics platforms.

This study compared the ability of two platforms (Agilent UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS and Waters UPLC-IMS-QTOF-MS) to identify biomarkers in butterhead and romaine lettuce cultivars.

Two case studies by different metabolomics platforms (1) Waters and Agilent datasets processed by the same data pre-processing software (Progenesis QI), and (2) Datasets processed by different data pre-processing software.

A higher number of candidate biomarkers shared between sample groups in case 2 (101) than in case 1 (26) was found. Thirteen metabolites were common to both cases. Romaine lettuce was characterised by phenolic compounds including flavonoids, hydroxycinnamate derivatives, and 9-undecenal, while Butterhead showed sesquiterpene lactones and xanthosine. This study demonstrates that high percentages of the most discriminatory entities can be obtained by using the manufacturers' embedded pre-processing software and following the recommended processing data guidelines using commercial software to normalise the data matrix.

tological findings and activation of the acute inflammatory response when using the higher MB dose. The potential activation of the inflammatory response following ultrasound-mediated BBB opening should be considered when treating patients to maximize therapeutic benefit.In an effort to combine the anti-proliferative effect of CUR-BF2 and CUR compounds with anti-inflammatory benefits of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a library of the bis- and mono-NSAID/CUR-BF2 and NSAID/CUR conjugates were synthesized by coupling flufenamic acid, flurbiprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, and ibuprofen to diversely substituted hydroxy-benzaldehydes via an ester linkage, and by subsequent reaction with acetylacetone-BF2 to form the bis- and the mono-NSAID/CUR-BF2 adducts. Since conversion to NSAID/CUR by the previously developed decomplexation protocol showed limited success, a set of NSAID/CUR conjugates were independently prepared by directly coupling the NSAIDs with parent curcumin. The bis-NSAID/CUR-BF2 and bis-NSAID-CUR hybrids exhibited low cytotoxicity in NCI-60 assay, and in independent cell viability assay on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (HCT116, HT29, DLD-1, RKO, SW837, CaCo2) and in normal CR cells (CCD841CoN). By contrast, the mono-naproxin and mono-flurbiprofen CUR-BF2 adducts exhibited remarkable anti-proliferative and apoptopic activity in NCI-60 assay most notably against HCT-116 (colon), OVCAR-3 (ovarian), and ACHN (renal) cells. Computational molecular docking calculations showed favorable binding energies to HER2, VEGFR2, BRAF, and Bcl-2 as well as to COX-1 and COX-2, which in several cases exceeded known inhibitors. The main interactions between the ligands and the proteins were hydrophobic, although several hydrogen bonds were also observed. A sub-set of six compounds that had exhibited little or no cytotoxicity were tested for their anti-inflammatory response with THP-1 human macrophages in comparison to parent NSAIDs or parent curcumin.The Experimental Lakes Area in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, is a globally prominent freshwater research facility, conducting impactful whole-of-lake experiments on so-called 'pristine' lakes and watersheds. These lakes are located in traditional Anishinaabe (Indigenous) territory and the home of 28 Treaty #3 Nations, something rarely acknowledged until now. Indeed, Indigenous peoples in the area have historically been excluded from the research facility's governance and research. Shortly after it changed hands in 2014-from the federal government to the not-for-profit International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD)-the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada released its Calls to Action to all Canadians. The newly named International Institute of Sustainable Development-Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) began to respond with a number of initiatives aimed to develop relationships with local Indigenous peoples and communities. In this paper, from the perspectives of IISD-ELA staff members, we share findings from an exploratory study into the relationships beginning to develop between IISD-ELA and Treaty #3 Nations. We used semi-structured interviews (n = 10) to identify how staff perceived their initial efforts and contextualize those with the current literature on meaningfully engagement in reconciliation. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/phycocyanobilin.html Our analysis highlights perceived barriers, including time, resources, and funding constraints, as well as an acknowledged lack of cultural awareness and sensitivity training. Participants also recognized the need to engage Indigenous knowledge holders and embrace their ways of knowing at the research station. While the study is small in scale, as an international leader in freshwater science, transparency in the IISD-ELA's journey in reconciliation has the potential to inform, influence, and 'unsettle' settler-colonial scientists, field stations, and institutions across the country and beyond.Effluents of textile, paper, and related industries contain significant amounts of synthetic dyes which has serious environmental and health implications. Remediation of dyes through physical and chemical techniques has specific limitations. Augmented biological decontamination strategies 'microbial remediation' may involve ring-opening of dye molecules besides the reduction of constituent metal ions. Both bacterial and fungal genera are known to exhibit metabolic versatility which can be harnessed for effective bio-removal of the toxic dye contaminants. Ascomycetous/basidiomycetes fungi can effectively decontaminate azo dyes through laccase/peroxidase enzyme-mediated catalysis. The extent, efficacy, and range of fungal dye decontamination can be enhanced by the conjugated application of nanomaterials, including nanoparticles (NPs) and their composites. Fungal cell-enabled NP synthesis- 'myco-farmed NPs', is a low-cost strategy for scaled-up fabrication of a variety of metal, metal oxide, non-metal oxide NPs through oxidation/reduction of dissolved ions/molecules by extracellular biomolecules. Augmented and rapid decontamination of azo dyes at high concentrations can be achieved by the use of myco-farmed NPs, NPs adsorbed fungal biomass, and nano-immobilized fungi-derived bio-catalytical agents. This manuscript will explore the opportunities and benefits of mycoremediation and application of fungus-NP bionanoconjugate to remediate dye pollutants in wastewaters and land contaminated with the effluent of textile industries.4-Coumarate coenzyme A ligase (4CL) is a key enzyme involved in the early steps of the monolignol biosynthetic pathway. It is hypothesized to modulate S and G monolignol content in the plant. Lignin removal is imperative to the paper industry and higher S/G ratio governs better extractability of lignin and economics of the pulping process. This background prompted us to predict 3D structure of two isoforms of 4CL in Leucaena leucocephala and evaluate their substrate preferences. The 3D structure of Ll4CL1 and Ll4CL2 protein were created by homology modeling and further refined by loop refinement. Molecular docking studies suggested differential substrate preferences of both the isoforms. Ll4CL1 preferred sinapic acid (- 4.91 kcal/mole), ferulic acid (- 4.84 kcal/mole), hydroxyferulic acid (- 4.72 kcal/mole), and caffeic acid (- 4.71 kcal/mole), in their decreasing order. Similarly, Ll4CL2 preferred caffeic acid (- 6.56 kcal/mole, 4 H bonds), hydroxyferulic acid (- 6.56 kcal/mole, 3 H bonds), and ferulic acid (- 6.

As of now, the war in Ukraine doesn’t seem to be slowing, and the threat of World War III looms large.

Deadly rhetoric from both sides continues unabated, as media outlets aren’t allowing nuance into the conversation. Both Ukraine and Russia have legitimate interests in this conflict, but you’d never know it if you listen to our elected officials or the mainstream press.

This is the twelfth and final episode of "Zelenskyy Unmasked". If you haven’t yet, please check out the first eleven episodes and share them widely. Maybe by raising awareness of the complexity of this conflict, we can bring about a peaceful settlement — and avoid nuclear annihilation...

I had to make this video as a warning to everyone who has opposed the past two years of authoritarian overreach. Now is the time to do everything we can to resist the CBDC and the digital ID, which I believe will usher in a new level of tyranny beyond anything we can currently comprehend. Please share this far and wide as a warning to others.

Awareness is our greatest tool in this fight. Thank you free thinkers!

I have had three outstanding interviews thus far with Denis Rancourt PhD, one involving Stephanie Seneff PhD, which I highly recommend everyone take the time to watch, as it involves the discussion of glyphosate and how it may be priming the body for more severe illness. Today, I am joined once again by Denis to discuss the evolving awareness of the COVID-19 illusion and just how much more clear this has become with his continued investigation and published research.

In a cross-sectional study we evaluated parameters of HRQOL in 95 patients with NFPA of the Endocrine Outpatient Unit of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich using standardized questionnaires like Short Form (SF-36), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a self-constructed questionnaire about medical history.

We could not find any significant difference between patients with and without SAI in the standardized questionnaires in terms of HRQOL. We could show that higher doses of HC were negatively correlated with HRQOL measured by SF-36 global health score regardless of using BDI or STAI in the block (β =  - 0.397; p = 0.021, β =  - 0.390; p = 0.016, respectively).

NFPA patients with SAI do not have a worse HRQOL than patients with NFPA and intact corticotropic axis. We could show that higher doses of HC are associated with an impaired HRQOL measured by SF-36 global and physical health score, whereas mental health score is not significantly influenced by the HC dose.

The Glissonean pedicle approach is a widely used technique in anatomical liver resection1. The Glissonean pedicle approach can be divided into the extrafacial approach (conventional Glissonean approach) and the transfissural approach2,3,4. #link# We present pure laparoscopic anatomical segmentectomy in tertiary portal pedicles with anatomical variations and a deep location using the transfissural Glissonean approach.

According to the branching pattern of the tertiary portal pedicles, selection of the extrafascial or the transfissural approach was determined. The tertiary portal pedicles around the liver hilum can be dissected using the extrafascial approach. The transfissural approach was applied when the tertiary portal pedicles were multiple, variable, and located deep within the liver. These pedicles can be dissected after parenchymal transection along the fissure lines (resection of segment 6 right portal fissure; resection of segment 3 umbilical fissure).

Patients underwent anatomical resection of segments 6 (n = 8; extrafascial 5; transfissural 3) and 3 (n = 4; extrafascial 1; transfissural 3). The median operative time was 200 min (range 110-250 min), and the median blood loss was 100 mL (range 40-350 mL). The median tumor size was 18.5 mm (range 11-30 mm). All patients were negative resection margin. The median postoperative hospital stay was 5.5 days (range 4-8 days).

The tertiary portal pedicles can be dissected using the extrafascial or the transfissural approach. The transfissural approach in tertiary portal pedicles with anatomical variations and a deep location is a useful and effective method because opening the fissure lines allows direct access to these pedicles.

Data analysis during UPLC-MS non-targeted metabolomics introduces variation as different manufacturers use specific algorithms for data treatment and this makes untargeted metabolomics an application for the discovery of new biomarkers with low confidence in the reproducibility of the results under the use of different metabolomics platforms.

This study compared the ability of two platforms (Agilent UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS and Waters UPLC-IMS-QTOF-MS) to identify biomarkers in butterhead and romaine lettuce cultivars.

Two case studies by different metabolomics platforms (1) Waters and Agilent datasets processed by the same data pre-processing software (Progenesis QI), and (2) Datasets processed by different data pre-processing software.

A higher number of candidate biomarkers shared between sample groups in case 2 (101) than in case 1 (26) was found. Thirteen metabolites were common to both cases. Romaine lettuce was characterised by phenolic compounds including flavonoids, hydroxycinnamate derivatives, and 9-undecenal, while Butterhead showed sesquiterpene lactones and xanthosine. This study demonstrates that high percentages of the most discriminatory entities can be obtained by using the manufacturers' embedded pre-processing software and following the recommended processing data guidelines using commercial software to normalise the data matrix.

tological findings and activation of the acute inflammatory response when using the higher MB dose. The potential activation of the inflammatory response following ultrasound-mediated BBB opening should be considered when treating patients to maximize therapeutic benefit.In an effort to combine the anti-proliferative effect of CUR-BF2 and CUR compounds with anti-inflammatory benefits of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a library of the bis- and mono-NSAID/CUR-BF2 and NSAID/CUR conjugates were synthesized by coupling flufenamic acid, flurbiprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, and ibuprofen to diversely substituted hydroxy-benzaldehydes via an ester linkage, and by subsequent reaction with acetylacetone-BF2 to form the bis- and the mono-NSAID/CUR-BF2 adducts. Since conversion to NSAID/CUR by the previously developed decomplexation protocol showed limited success, a set of NSAID/CUR conjugates were independently prepared by directly coupling the NSAIDs with parent curcumin. The bis-NSAID/CUR-BF2 and bis-NSAID-CUR hybrids exhibited low cytotoxicity in NCI-60 assay, and in independent cell viability assay on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (HCT116, HT29, DLD-1, RKO, SW837, CaCo2) and in normal CR cells (CCD841CoN). By contrast, the mono-naproxin and mono-flurbiprofen CUR-BF2 adducts exhibited remarkable anti-proliferative and apoptopic activity in NCI-60 assay most notably against HCT-116 (colon), OVCAR-3 (ovarian), and ACHN (renal) cells. Computational molecular docking calculations showed favorable binding energies to HER2, VEGFR2, BRAF, and Bcl-2 as well as to COX-1 and COX-2, which in several cases exceeded known inhibitors. The main interactions between the ligands and the proteins were hydrophobic, although several hydrogen bonds were also observed. A sub-set of six compounds that had exhibited little or no cytotoxicity were tested for their anti-inflammatory response with THP-1 human macrophages in comparison to parent NSAIDs or parent curcumin.The Experimental Lakes Area in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, is a globally prominent freshwater research facility, conducting impactful whole-of-lake experiments on so-called 'pristine' lakes and watersheds. These lakes are located in traditional Anishinaabe (Indigenous) territory and the home of 28 Treaty #3 Nations, something rarely acknowledged until now. Indeed, Indigenous peoples in the area have historically been excluded from the research facility's governance and research. Shortly after it changed hands in 2014-from the federal government to the not-for-profit International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD)-the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada released its Calls to Action to all Canadians. The newly named International Institute of Sustainable Development-Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) began to respond with a number of initiatives aimed to develop relationships with local Indigenous peoples and communities. In this paper, from the perspectives of IISD-ELA staff members, we share findings from an exploratory study into the relationships beginning to develop between IISD-ELA and Treaty #3 Nations. We used semi-structured interviews (n = 10) to identify how staff perceived their initial efforts and contextualize those with the current literature on meaningfully engagement in reconciliation. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/phycocyanobilin.html Our analysis highlights perceived barriers, including time, resources, and funding constraints, as well as an acknowledged lack of cultural awareness and sensitivity training. Participants also recognized the need to engage Indigenous knowledge holders and embrace their ways of knowing at the research station. While the study is small in scale, as an international leader in freshwater science, transparency in the IISD-ELA's journey in reconciliation has the potential to inform, influence, and 'unsettle' settler-colonial scientists, field stations, and institutions across the country and beyond.Effluents of textile, paper, and related industries contain significant amounts of synthetic dyes which has serious environmental and health implications. Remediation of dyes through physical and chemical techniques has specific limitations. Augmented biological decontamination strategies 'microbial remediation' may involve ring-opening of dye molecules besides the reduction of constituent metal ions. Both bacterial and fungal genera are known to exhibit metabolic versatility which can be harnessed for effective bio-removal of the toxic dye contaminants. Ascomycetous/basidiomycetes fungi can effectively decontaminate azo dyes through laccase/peroxidase enzyme-mediated catalysis. The extent, efficacy, and range of fungal dye decontamination can be enhanced by the conjugated application of nanomaterials, including nanoparticles (NPs) and their composites. Fungal cell-enabled NP synthesis- 'myco-farmed NPs', is a low-cost strategy for scaled-up fabrication of a variety of metal, metal oxide, non-metal oxide NPs through oxidation/reduction of dissolved ions/molecules by extracellular biomolecules. Augmented and rapid decontamination of azo dyes at high concentrations can be achieved by the use of myco-farmed NPs, NPs adsorbed fungal biomass, and nano-immobilized fungi-derived bio-catalytical agents. This manuscript will explore the opportunities and benefits of mycoremediation and application of fungus-NP bionanoconjugate to remediate dye pollutants in wastewaters and land contaminated with the effluent of textile industries.4-Coumarate coenzyme A ligase (4CL) is a key enzyme involved in the early steps of the monolignol biosynthetic pathway. It is hypothesized to modulate S and G monolignol content in the plant. Lignin removal is imperative to the paper industry and higher S/G ratio governs better extractability of lignin and economics of the pulping process. This background prompted us to predict 3D structure of two isoforms of 4CL in Leucaena leucocephala and evaluate their substrate preferences. The 3D structure of Ll4CL1 and Ll4CL2 protein were created by homology modeling and further refined by loop refinement. Molecular docking studies suggested differential substrate preferences of both the isoforms. Ll4CL1 preferred sinapic acid (- 4.91 kcal/mole), ferulic acid (- 4.84 kcal/mole), hydroxyferulic acid (- 4.72 kcal/mole), and caffeic acid (- 4.71 kcal/mole), in their decreasing order. Similarly, Ll4CL2 preferred caffeic acid (- 6.56 kcal/mole, 4 H bonds), hydroxyferulic acid (- 6.56 kcal/mole, 3 H bonds), and ferulic acid (- 6.
