Abstract
The present work represents a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) based sensing method for detecting Gunshot Residue (GSR) components. Two laser dyes Acf and RhB have been used as donor and acceptor respectively in the FRET pair. The real sample was collected after test firing in a forensic science laboratory. On the other hand, a standard GSR solution has been prepared in the laboratory. For the preparation of standard GSR solutions, we used the water solutions of the salts BaCl2, SbCl3, and Pb(NO3)2. The FRET efficiency was measured between Acf and RhB to sense the presence of GSR components (Pb+2, Ba+2, and Sb+3) in both real sample and standard solution by mixing the salts in aqueous solution. It has been observed that the FRET efficiency systematically decreases in the presence of GSR components. To amplify the FRET efficiency of the dye pair, inorganic clay dispersion (laponite) was used. The enhancement in FRET efficiency represents a better sensitivity of the proposed sensor. The current sensor is useful for the quantification of concentrations of the GSR components in a real sample.

Abstract
![]()
Acriflavine (ACF) has been known for years as an antibacterial
drug. The identification of key oncogenic mechanisms has brought,
in recent years, a significant increase in studies on ACF as a multipurpose
drug that would improve the prognosis for cancer patients. ACF interferes
with the expression of the hypoxia inducible factor, thus acting on
metastatic niches of tumors and significantly enhancing the effects
of other anticancer therapies. It has been recognized as the most
potent HIF-1 inhibitor out of the 336 drugs approved by the FDA. This
work presents up-to-date knowledge about the mechanisms of action
of ACF and its related prodrug systems in the context of anticancer
and SARS-CoV-2 inhibitory properties. It explains the multitask nature
of this drug and suggests mechanisms of ACF’s action on the
coronavirus. Other recent reports on ACF-based systems as potential
antibacterial and antiviral drugs are also described.

Abstract
Logic gates are devices that can perform logical operations by transforming a set of inputs into a predictable single detectable output. The hybridization properties, structure, and function of nucleic acids can be used to make DNA-based logic gates. These devices are important modules in molecular computing and biosensing. The ideal logic gate system should provide a wide selection of logical operations, and be integrable in multiple copies into more complex structures. Here we show the successful construction of a small DNA-based logic gate complex that produces fluorescent outputs corresponding to the operation of the six Boolean logic gates AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, and XNOR. The logic gate complex is shown to work also when implemented in a three-dimensional DNA origami box structure, where it controlled the position of the lid in a closed or open position. Implementation of multiple microRNA sensitive DNA locks on one DNA origami box structure enabled fuzzy logical operation that allows biosensing of complex molecular signals. Integrating logic gates with DNA origami systems opens a vast avenue to applications in the fields of nanomedicine for diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
This communication reports our investigations on the Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between two laser dyes Acriflavine and Rhodamine B in absence and presence of DNA at different pH. It has been observed that energy transfer efficiency is largely affected by the presence of DNA as well as the pH of the system. It is well known that with increase in pH, DNA conformation changes from double stranded to single stranded (denaturation) and finally form random coil. Based on our experimental results two different types of molecular logic gates namely, XOR and OR logic have been demonstrated which can be used to have an idea about DNA conformation in solution.
