Title: Reduced graphene oxide-silver phosphate (rgo-agp) and a process for the preparation thereof for the photodegradation of organic dyes
Inventor: DAS DIPTI PRAKASINI
IPC: C01B31/04
Filed: 2013-09-24
Abstract: Solar radiation accounts for 5% of UV and 43% of visible radiation which has not yet been exploited. So, the development of visible light driven photocatalyst has become one of the most challenging topics today which can address the problems recombination of charge carriers during light illuminatiorl and the problems of electron transport to the substrate in experimental point of view and practically it can resolve the enery and environmental problems. AgP having band gap energy 2.1 eV is reported to be a visible light semiconductor. But, the main drawback with this material is that it undergoes photocorrosion during light illumination and it has very low adsorptive capacity. So, we have thought of coupling RGO with AgP in a very novel one-pot photo-reduction technique in presence of a sacrificial agent like dry ethanol. The dirty green semiconducting material thus collected was tested towards adosoptive photodegradation of textile dyes. The results showed that 4 wt.% RGO- AgP can degrade 100, 76, 98.57, 67.88, 69.92% of RhB, Rh6G, MB, CR and MO, respectively within only 05 min under VISL illumination over 1.5 g/L of catalyst.

Abstract: L'émergence de mutations dans des tyrosine kinases suite au traitement thérapie moléculaire ciblée, de patients atteints de cancer représente un mécanisme majeur de résistance acquise aux médicaments. Ici, des mutations dans le récepteur de serpentine, Smoothened (SMO) sont décrites, qui résultent de la résistance à un inhibiteur de la voie Hedgehog (Hh) tel que dans un médulloblastome. Des substitutions d'acides aminés dans des résidus conservés de SMO maintiennent la signalisation Hh, mais provoquent l'incapacité de l'inhibiteur de la voie Hh, GDC-0449, à se lier à SMO et la suppression de ladite voie. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne de nouveaux acides nucléiques et de nouvelles protéines mutantes SMO ainsi que des procédés de criblage permettant de détecter des mutations SMO et des procédés utilisés pour cribler des médicaments qui modulent spécifiquement un mutant SMO présentant une résistance aux médicaments.
