Abstract:
Glycerol plasticized soy protein isolate (SPI) flms at diferent contents (1 to 5% w/w w.r.t SPI) of nalidixic acid (NA) were fabricated by solution casting method. SPI flms and NA incorporated SPI flms were structurally and mechanically characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mechanical properties, respectively. Thermomechanical and water uptake studies were also carried out for NA incorporated SPI flms. The results from FTIR study indicated the presence of NA in SPI as evidenced by generation of two additional peaks at 1259 cm−1 and 800 cm−1 attributed to C–C stretching vibration and the deformation of the heterocyclic aromatic ring, respectively. At 4% NA, the tensile stress and tensile modulus of SPI flms increased from 5.18 MPa to 8.57 MPa and 57.14 MPa to 93.90 MPa, respectively. Antibacterial activity of NA incorporated SPI flms against E. coli and L. monocytogenes were studied. The antibacterial studies of NA incorporated SPI flm showed the clear zone of inhibition against both the bacteria. Docking studies were performed for SPI in order to evaluate their binding afnity with NA and similar type of aromatic acids such as mandelic and benzilic acid with which SPI flms have been prepared earlier by our group. After docking, the ligands in form of aromatic acids were evaluated according to their binding energy and the interaction pattern between SPI and aromatic acids. The docking results indicated that nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring moiety remained intact during interaction of SPI and NA. This work will be helpful in fabricating NA incorporated SPI flm from the renewable resources with signifcant antibacterial properties and reasonable mechanical properties.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
