Biosorption is a promising alternative method to treat industrial effluents, mainly because of its low cost and high metal binding capacity. In this work, Zinc and Chromium biosorption process by Sargassum sp. seaweed biomass was studied. The work considered the determination parameters of Zinc and Chromium sorption such as pH, temperature, agitation speed and biomass size. The optimum conditions were: pH3, temperature (303k) room temperature, biomass size 0.5mm and agitation speed 150rpm. The maximum uptake of Chromium and Zinc is 65% and 53% respectively. The kinetic study revealed that the adsorption of Chromium and zinc by Sargassum sp. fitted the Langmuir isotherm.Keywords

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Ring finger protein 110 was involved in the development of oncogenes, which mediate protein-protein interactions and involved in the formation of multi protein complexes. The investigation of this study reveals the modeling of the 3D structure of the protein with the final refinement of -700.41KJ/Mol. Casuarinin, a hydrolysable tannin isolated from the bark of Terminalia arjuna was investigated for its antiproliferative activity in human breast Adenocarcinoma. The energy value -40.87 Kcal/ mol and the Rms score value -1.00 showed the hydrolysable tannin (Casuarinin) has higher specificity and efficiency towards the target protein ring finger 110.Keywords
