Answer
The blood acts as a medium of immune system through cells and protein which regulate the body temperature by dissipating heat production of muscles. Since the crucial function of blood depends on blood cells plasma performance, the bone marrow and blood composition constellate with Guava for protein and magnolia seed pod for platelet.

I have extracted dragon fruit flesh by using methanol to get the betalain pigment. Then I want to dissolve this pigment into poly lactic acid solution (PLA dissolve in chloroform). But the pigment not dissolve in the solution. How to dissolve this pigment?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Qurratu Aini Mat Ali, it is a pigment or a dye ? Pigments do not disolve (contrary to dyes), they are only dispersed. Anyway if it doesn't disolve in chloroform then find a common solvent for both, and dissolve each one separatly, after that join both solutions under mixing. My Regards

I had been experimenting with DRAGON version 5 input files. I found that the flux computed by the EDI module not to be normalized. There is a neutron flux level that is computed by the EVO module. Is that the normalizing factor for the EDI module?
Thank you!
Relevant answer
Answer
As a set of consecutive characters containing no blanks; it will be automatically interpreted by DRAGON
as being either an INTEGER, a REAL, a DOUBLE PRECISION or a CHARACTER variable depending on
the format of the input variable. The identification of INTEGER, REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION variables
follows the FORTRAN prescriptions, everything else is automatically assumed to represent a character
variable

I have a problem while calculating molecular descriptors with Dragon 7. My structures are drawn in Avogadro and optimized with Gaussian. After this step, my structures look like the one I uploaded - the aromatic ring in imidazolium is no longer in form of two separate double bonds, the electrons are delocalized instead.
Unfortunatelly, it is not seen in Dragon (I upload the files in .mol2 format). The software warns me that one of C atoms (carbon between nitrogens) has unusual valence, 3 instead of 4 and no aromaticity is detected.
How can I fix this?
Relevant answer
Answer
It seems that your molecule has quite unusual bonds. In order to not raise warnings when using your molecule in a chemoinformatic toolkit I suggest to modify the imidazolium as in: C1=C[NH+]=CN1. Replacing the two delocalized bonds with a single and a double bond and adding a + to the N with a double and two single bonds.
In order to check your molecule dataset I suggest to use alvaMolecule (https://bit.ly/2UtqSMJ).

I am deciding whether to buy a license for Dragon (https://chm.kode-solutions.net/products_dragon.php), but I wanted to check if there are any free alternatives that compute most of these features.  I have used Mordred (https://github.com/mordred-descriptor/mordred) and PaDEL, but these only provide a small subset of those available in Dragon, and haven't been as valuable for predictive modeling.  Is there anything free (and preferably open source) that provides anything close to the coverage of Dragon?

RDKit is a free cheminformatics tool. You can easily play with molecules and calculate 2D and 3D descriptors in Python.

Chimera, in genetics, an organism or tissue that contains at least two different sets of DNA, most often originating from the fusion of as many different zygotes (fertilized eggs). The term is derived from the Chimera of Greek mythology, a fire-breathing monster that was part lion, part goat, and part dragon.

Dear All
Last time, I have analyzed dragon fruit peel extract using UHPLC-MSMS. It can be seen for total 13 compounds were detected, only 6 compounds have the activity as antibacterial against S. aureus and E. coli include quinic acid , cinnamic acid (Guzman, 2014), isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside (Vagiri et al., 2017), 3,30-di-O-methyl ellagic acid (Nono et al., 2014), apigenin (Sousa et al., 2006) and protocatechuic hexoside conjugate (Stojković et al., 2013). All of these compounds even if have antibacterial activity but cannot be seen through the zone of inhibition test. May I know the reason? Can I said due to possibility is that the bioactive compounds is less diffusible and therefore does not enter the TSA agar?. This could be due to a high molecular weight, chemical reactivity and lack of solubility (Balouiri et al., 2016)

Answer
The question is the other way around: why should the phenolic compounds have antibacterial activities? Bioactive does not mean magical. How does your method compare with that of the publications? Which concentrations were tested? How did you dissolve the phenolics notably?
Btw, none of them has such a high Mw that they would be rrapped in an agar gel.

Dear Mr/Mrs
I already extracted my dragon fruit peel inside the microwave assisted extraction (MAE) by using water as a solvent. MAE is the close system extraction.But my sample is not fully dissolve into the solvent and still have residue, then i centrifuged to separate solution extraction (supernatant) with residue for further study. May I know is there any issue since my sample is not fully dissolve? I just assume active compounds were extracted into the solvent as powder peel from dragon fruit is really hard to dissolve
Thanks in advance. Your cooperation is highly appreciated.

I already done run experiment Optical density versus time for two types of microbe against dragon fruit peel extraction (as file attached). From this graph, Is it correct for its shape/pattern? what else I can explain through this graph? from this graph I can said my solution extraction have very low antibacterial activity. I said that because, I ever run for inhibition zone test, the result is negative (clear zone is not appear)

Dear All
I already analyzed dragon fruit peel using lc-qtrap-esi msms to identify type of phenolic compounds by using full scanning mode. Here I attached file for your perusal. Can I said this phenolic compound is confirm with data base library matching and ion fragment showed fingerprint for each compounds?. Do you agree with me? As i'm not use authentic standard to make confirmation, just depend on libry database. the one things is the name of phenolic compounds from dragon fruit peel are quite strange
Relevant answer
Answer
I mean it is not possible - you have no standards for RT and mass and have no exact mass at your system (what about isobars?). You may work with ramping the collision energy and compare ramped spectra, if they are in library - it is real proof, but we use only standards - it is better, because in special cases for our analysis without exact mass MS/MS/MS on the trap is necessary.

Hello, I used E-Dragon to calculate the molecular descriptors, but when I used some SMILES of chemicals, it showed errors, for example, I succeeded to get the molecular descriptor data of O=[Cr](=O)=O, but I couldn't get the data for O=S1(=O)O{-}.[Fe]{2+}.O{-}1 or Cl{-}.[Cd]{2+}.Cl{-}. Does anyone also use E-Dragon or Dragon, do you know why I had this kind of problem? 
Relevant answer
Answer
Try connecting to http://146.107.217.178/lab/edragon/start.html then click on edit data and paste your SMILES, be sure to set the correct file format to SMILES (there is a drop down list to select the proper file format) and convert to 3D using CORINA, there is a drop down list on the rights side of the java applet that enables you to select the proper engine to convert a SMILES to a 3D form. Then submit your task. It works properly with your SMILES.
