Abstract

The work characterizes develop a single layer bioinorganic membrane using nano-molecule Kurumi C13H20BeLi2SeSi / C13H19BeLi2SeSi, is well characterize computationally. As its scientific name 3-lithio-3-(6-{3-selena-8-beryllatricyclo [3.2.1.02,⁴] oct-6-en-2-yl}hexyl)-1-sila-2-lithacyclopropane. The work was based on a molecular dynamics (MD) of 1ns, using the CHARMM22 force field, with step 0.001 ps. Calculations indicate that the final structure, arrangement have the tendency to form a single layer micellar structure, when molecular dynamics is performed with a single layer. However, when molecular dynamics were carried out in several layers, indicates the behavior of a liotropic nematic liquid crystal order. Kurumi features the structure polar-apolar-polar predominant. Limitations our study has so far been limited to computational simulation via quantum mechanics e molecular mechanics (QM/MM), an applied theory. Our results and calculations are compatible and with the theory of QM/MM, but their physical experimental verification depend on advanced techniques for their synthesis, obtaining laboratory for experimental biochemical. Going beyond imagination, the most innovative and challenging proposal of the work advances the construction of a structure compatible with the formation of a “new DNA”, based now on the kurumi molecule.

Highlights

Heavy metals are classified as non-biodegradable in nature and are considered as major environmental pollutants causing harmful effects in living organisms especially in aquatic environments Kpobari, et al [1]
This study investigated the heavy metal concentrations in different organs such as gills, muscles, liver and gatrointestinal tract (GIT) of two species of Goby: Porogobius schelegelii and Bathygobius soporator from Buguma Creek, Rivers State, Nigeria
The high concentration of heavy metals above permissible level suggests the need for caution during the consumption of these species from Buguma Creek due to health implications associated with heavy metals

Summary

Introduction

Heavy metals are classified as non-biodegradable in nature and are considered as major environmental pollutants causing harmful effects in living organisms especially in aquatic environments Kpobari, et al [1]. Most of the aquatic organisms have the capacity to accumulate heavy metals from various sources such as sediments, soil erosion and discharges of wastewater from domestic and industrial sectors [2, 3]. According to Swaibuh Lwanga, et al [4], heavy metals are introduced into the environment by a wide range of both natural and anthropogenic sources. The commonest forms of anthropogenic sources of heavy metals are industrial and domestic activities. Industrial discharges, domestic sewage, non-point source such as urban run-off and atmospheric precipitation are the main sources of toxic heavy metals that enter aquatic systems in both rural and urban centers of the world [7]
