AbstractWith due attention to adsorption of proteins on the nanoparticles surface and the formation of nanoparticle-protein corona, investigation of nanoparticles toxicity on the structure of proteins is important. Therefore, this work was done to evaluate toxicity of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the structure of human serum albumin (HSA) through in vitro and in silico studies. First, ZnO NPs were synthesized using hydrothermal method and their size and morphology were determined by SEM and TEM methods and then to study its toxicity on the HSA structure were used UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Also, in order to investigate interaction mechanism of ZnO NP with HSA at the atomistic level was used molecular dynamics (md) simulation. The obtained images from SEM and TEM showed that ZnO NPs were nanosheet with size of less than 40 nm. The results of spectroscopic studies showed ZnO NPs lead to significant conformational changes in the protein’s absorption and emission spectra. Moreover, md results showed the minor structure changes in HSA due to interaction with ZnO NP during the 100 ns simulation and the formation of nanoparticle-protein corona complex that is mainly because of electrostatic interactions between charge groups of HSA and ZnO NP.

This study which designed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Ethanolic extract of (Quercusrobur) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles on the growth of one genus of enterobacteriacae (Salmonella). In vitro. For this purpose graduate concentrates for plant extract (50, 100, 200, 400 )mg/ml which prepared and compared with Zinc oxide nanoparticles of different concentration (2, 1, 0.5, 0.25) μg/ml,and examined. The result showed that the studied medicinal plant has antibacterial activity against this bacteria which used. The result showed that the plant has good activity in decrease the growth of this bacteria. The results of the study also showed that the nano-ZnO has very effective antibacterial action against the studied bacteria which was Salmonella,nanoparticles concentrations lead to increasing in the inhibition zones of tested bacterial growth. We also study the effect of three antibiotics Lomefloxacin (LOM), Ciprofloxacin (SIP) and Rifampin (RA) and the result showed,in a comparison within the tested bacteria,Salmonella had a significant inhibition increase in Lomefloxacin ; the ciprofloxacin showed effect on tested bacteria. However,Rifampin does not show any effect on tested bacteria.
