Sweat is one of the interstitial biofluids containing minerals and clinical biomarkers, found in blood. Since sweat sampling can be done non-invasively and the levels of several biomarkers in sweat are well correlated with those in the blood, sweat is an interesting alternative biofluid for medical diagnostics. …

How can we utilized chemistry knowledge to detect pesticides? The research group of Assoc. Prof. Boosayarat Tomapatanaget developed a biosensor based on graphene quantum dot and enzymes in hydrogel (GQDs/Enz/Gels) to detect organophosphate pesticides via two enzymes, acetylcholinesterase and cholinesterase. In a typical condition, these enzymes produce hydrogen peroxide, which decrease the fluorescence signal of …

Weedy rice, particularly paddy seed, is difficult to handle and separate because it has characteristics (morphological likeness) similar to those cultivated rice. This research describes a modification of self-organizing maps (SOMs) for categorizing weedy rice from cultivated rice using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) on paddy seed in situ. Optical microscope and thermogravimetric analysis were employed to …
Understanding the structure and function of proteins in the coronavirus (COVID-19) is crucial to the drug development. The 3C-like main protease from SARS-CoV-2 is a key protein that can potentially be used as a drug target molecule. This protein plays a crucial role in the viral proliferation and replication. There have been shown that protein …
