Abstract
The hydrogen bond structure and dynamics of water and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in their binary mixtures have been studied at 298 K by classical molecular dynamics simulations. Twelve different concentrations of aqueous-H2O2 solutions are considered for this study. We have analyzed the interactions between water and H2O2 by site-site pair correlation functions and observed that the probability of formation of OW···HP hydrogen bonds are higher compared to OP···HW. The second solvation shell of water is strongly affected by increasing H2O2 concentrations (XP > 0.50), which signifies the destruction of the tetrahedral network structure of water. The translational and rotational dynamics of water and H2O2 do not significantly change up to 25% of H2O2 in aqueous mixtures. The hydrogen bond lifetime of water-water, water-H2O2, and H2O2-H2O2 in the aqueous-H2O2 solutions shows a very minimal change with increasing H2O2 concentrations. In addition to this, we also investigated the effect of H2O2 on the insulin monomer and observed that higher concentrations of H2O2 (XP = 0.10) change the secondary structure. The influence of H2O2 is more on chain-B than that on chain-A in the insulin monomer. The H2O2 occupancy at the protein surface is higher for negatively charged (GLU) and polar (ASN and THR) amino acid residues compared with that for positively charged and neutral residues in the solutions.

Abstract
Phytochemicals present in medicinal plants have a variety of biological activities that help to combat against diseases. As part of efforts to study the binding performance of different phytochemicals derived from different plants like Zingiber officinale, Citrus limon, Syzygiumaromaticum, Ocimum tenuiflorum and Curcumin. We have screened 424 molecules. The binding affinity as well as physicochemical properties of the thebaine, acacetin, indomethacin, crinamineacetate, (S)-1-Piperideine-6-carboxylate, levamisole, melatonin, nicotinicacid, curcumin, methotrimeprazine, omeprazole, and methaqualone phytocompounds were analyzed through computational study. From the molecular docking study we found that, LEU50, ASN72, PRO96, TYR154, GLY170, ALA193, ARG222, and MET274 residues of main protease play a crucial role in binding with ligands. The present study revealed a noticeable interaction of GLY446, SER477, GLY482, THR500 and LEU518 residues with mutant of spike receptor binding domain SARS-CoV-2 protein were observed. Finally, 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation were used to study their dynamic properties as well as conformational flexibility. Free energy landscape analysis was performed of the 6LU7- acacetin and 6Y2E-acacetin systems and spike RBD-acacetin system. From molecular docking study and molecular dynamics study revealed that, the compound acacetin shows promising inhibitor towards both main protease as well as mutant spike RBD of SARS-CoV-2 protein.

Abstract
In this work, linear infrared (IR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to examine the interaction of different metal cations (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Zn2+) with backbone (amide C═O) and C-terminal carboxylate (COO-) groups in zwitterionic alanine tripeptide (Ala3) in aqueous solutions with varying saline concentrations. Circular dichroism spectra and MD results suggest that Ala3 is predominantly in polyproline-II (PPII) conformation, whose amide-I and asymmetric carboxylate stretching IR vibration signatures are also supported by quantum-chemistry calculations. The zwitterionic form of Ala3 separates the two amide-I modes in frequency, which are weakly coupled modes, as revealed by two-dimensional IR measurement, and can be used to probe backbone-cation interactions at different scenarios (near charged or neutral chemical groups respectively). Cation concentration-dependent IR frequency red shifts in the amide-I mode are seen for both amide-I modes, whereas blue shifts are also seen in the amide-I mode far from the NH3+ group. The observed spectral changes are discussed from the perspective of the salting-in and salting-out abilities of the cations. In addition, all the metal cations studied here (except Zn2+) can specifically coordinate to the COO- group in bidentate and pseudo-bridging forms simultaneously. For Zn2+, only the pseudo-bridging form exists. Our results shed light on the macroscopic protein salting-in and salting-out phenomena from the perspective of key chemical bonds in peptides.

Abstract
A protein's function is closely related to its structural properties. Mutations can affect the functionality of a protein. Different cancer tissues have found disordered expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase 2-associated Protein 1 (CDK2AP1) gene. A protein molecule's conformational flexibility affects its interaction with phytochemicals and their biological partners at various levels. Boerhavia diffusa has been investigated most extensively for its medicinal activities like anticancer properties. It contains many bioactive compounds like Boeravinone A, Boeravinone B, Boeravinone C, Boeravinone D, Boeravinone E, Boeravinone F, Boeravinone G, Boeravinone H, Boeravinone I and Boeravinone J. We have studied to analyse the binding efficacy properties as well as essential dynamic behaviour, free energy landscape of both the native and mutant protein CDK2AP1 with bioactive compounds from Boerhavia diffusa plant extracts through computational approaches by homology modelling, docking and molecular dynamics simulation. From the molecular docking study, we found that. Boeravinone J have best binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol) towards the native protein of CDKAP1 compared to others phytochemicals. However, we found the binding energy for H23R and C105R (mutation point) -7.8 and -7.6 kcal/mol, respectively. A single minima energy point (from 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation study) was found in the H23R mutant with Boeravinone J complex suggested that minimum structural changes with less conformational mobility compared C105A mutant model.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
We discuss the results of experimental studies of the processes of gelation in aqueous solutions of silver nitrate with l-cysteine and its derivatives. We focus on understanding what determines if these small molecules will self-assemble in water at their extremely low concentration to form a gel. A mechanism of gel formation in a cysteine-silver solution (CSS) is proposed. The analysis of the results indicates that filamentary aggregates of a gel network are formed via interaction of NH3+ and C(O)O- groups that belong to neighboring silver mercaptide (SM) aggregates. In turn, formation of sulphur-silver bonds between silver mercaptide molecules is responsible for self-assembling these molecules into SM aggregates which can be considered as supramonomers. Free polar groups located on the surfaces of the aggregates can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which explains the unique ability of CSS hydrogels to trap water at low concentrations of low-molecular-weight hydrogelators.
