"In two volumes, this book elucidates the crucial mechanisms that control the dynamics of phosphoinositide conversion. Starting out from phosphatidylinositol, a chain of lipid kinases collaborates to generate the oncogenic lipid phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)-trisphosphate. For every phosphate group added, there are specific lipid kinases – and phosphatases to remove it. Additionally, phospholipases can cleave off the inositol head group and generate poly-phosphoinositols, which act as soluble signals in the cytosol. Volume I untangles the web of these enzymes and their products, and relates them to function in health and disease. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases and 3-phosphatases have received a special focus in volume I, and recent therapeutic developments in human disease are presented along with a historical perspective illustrating the impressive progress in the field."

"This book describes the main enzymes regulating the turnover of each of the seven PIs in mammalian cells, some of their intracellular functions and some evidence of their involvement in human diseases. Due to the complex inter-relation between the distinct PIs and the plethora of functions that they can regulate inside a cell, this book is not meant to be a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of PIs signalling but rather an overview on the current state of the field and where it could go from here. Phosphoinositide and inositol phosphates interact with and modulate the recruitment and activation of key regulatory proteins and in doing so control diverse functions including cell growth and proliferation, apoptosis, cytoskeletal dynamics, insulin action, vesicle trafficking and nuclear function. Initially, inositide signaling was limited to the PLC pathway, however, it is now clear that all the seven phosphoinositides and more than 30 different inositol phosphates likely have specific signaling functions. Moreover there is a growing list of proteins that are regulated by inositol signaling. This has raised the question as to how inositol signaling can control diverse processes and yet maintain signaling specificity. Controlling the levels of inositol signaling molecules and their subcellular compartmentalisation is likely to be critical. This meeting will bring together scientists from different backgrounds to discuss how understanding inositol signaling may be used to target complex human diseases that manifest themselves when inositol signaling is deregulated."

"Titania nanotube (TNT)-carbon nanotube (CNT) composite had been successfully synthesized using simple mixing under acidic conditions and ultrasonic treatment. The samples were further characterized via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X–ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse re?ectance UV-vis spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The TNT–CNT composite’s ability to degrade phenol, a model of industrial waste, was tested. The effects of CNT composition and calcination temperature on the phenol degradation performance of TNT-CNT composite were investigated. The results show that the TNT-CNT composite exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than TNT or CNT alone. The crystallinity of the catalyst is not the only parameter affecting the photocatalytic activity. Rather, the specific surface area, bandgap, and morphology of the catalyst must also be considered."

"In two volumes, this book elucidates the crucial mechanisms that control the dynamics of phosphoinositide conversion. Volume II extends into the role of phosphoinositides in membrane organization and vesicular traffic. Endocytosis and exocytosis are modulated by phosphoinositides, which determine the fate and activity of integral membrane proteins. Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate is a prominent flag in the plasma membrane, while phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate decorates early endosomes. The Golgi apparatus is rich in phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, stressed cells increase phosphatidylinositol(3,5)-bisphosphate, and the nucleus has a phosphoinositide metabolism of its own. Phosphoinositide-dependent signaling cascades and the spatial organization of distinct phosphoinositide species are required in organelle function, fission and fusion, membrane channel regulation, cytoskeletal rearrangements, adhesion processes, and thus orchestrate complex cellular responses including growth, proliferation, differentiation, cell motility, and cell polarization."

"Metilen biru merupakan pewarna organik berbahaya dari limbah industri tekstil yang menyebabkan permasalahan lingkungan yang serius. Degradasi metilen biru dapat dilakukan melalui proses fotokatalisis dengan semikonduktor berbasis oksida logam seperti NiO dan CuBi2O4. Pada penelitian ini, NiO disintesis melalui metode sol-gel, sedangkan CuBi2O4 disintesis melalui metode solvotermal. Nanokomposit NiO/CuBi2O4 telah berhasil dikembangkan dengan memodifikasi NiO dan CuBi2O4 melalui metode grinding-annealing, yang dikonfirmasi oleh hasil karakterisasi XRD, FTIR, TEM, dan UV-Vis DRS. Penurunan nilai energi celah pita NiO dari 3,39 eV akibat keberadaan CuBi2O4 dapat diamati. Energi celah pita NiO pada NiO/CuBi2O4 1:1, 1:2, dan 2:1 yang diperoleh dari hasil karakterisasi UV-Vis DRS adalah 2,95 eV, 2,89 eV, dan 3,15 eV. Selain itu, aktivitas fotokatalitik NiO, CuBi2O4, dan NiO/CuBi2O4 sebagai katalis juga dievaluasi melalui degradasi metilen biru di bawah radiasi sinar tampak selama 3 jam. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa modifikasi NiO dengan CuBi2O4 dapat meningkatkan aktivitas fotokatalitik.

Methylene blue is a hazardous organic dye from textile industrial effluents which causes serious environmental problems. Degradation of methylene blue could be carried out through photocatalysis process using metal oxide-based semiconductors such as NiO and CuBi2O4. In this study, NiO was synthesized by sol-gel method, while CuBi2O4 was synthesized by solvothermal method. NiO/CuBi2O4 nanocomposite was successfully developed by modifying NiO and CuBi2O4 through grinding-annealing method, which was confirmed by the results of XRD, FTIR, TEM, and UV-Vis DRS characterization. The decrease in bandgap energy value of NiO from 3.39 eV due to the presence of CuBi2O4 could be observed. The bandgap energies of NiO in NiO/CuBi2O4 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 obtained from the results of UV-Vis DRS characterization were 2.95 eV, 2.89 eV, and 3.15 eV. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of NiO, CuBi2O4, and NiO/CuBi2O4 as catalysts were also evaluated by methylene blue degradation under visible light irradiation for 3 hours. The results showed that modification NiO with CuBi2O4 could enhance the photocatalytic activity. The percentage of methylene blue photodegradation using 10 mg NiO/CuBi2O4 2:1 catalyst was 74.12% with a rate constant of 6.07×10–3 min–1, which was higher than NiO and CuBi2O4 without modification."

"Pewarna sintesis merupakan salah satu bahan pencemar lingkungan perairan karena sifatnya yang sulit terurai dan persisten sehingga dapat menghambat penetrasi cahaya matahari masuk ke dalam air dan menyebabkan penurunan aktivitas fotosintesis. Fotokatalitik dilakukan untuk mendegradasi pewarna sintesis dengan menggunakan CuBi2O4 yang memiliki energi celah pita sebesar 1.75 eV. Namun, rekombinasi pasangan e-/h+ pada CuBi2O4 dapat terjadi akibat celah pita yang sempit serta karena memiliki sifat mobilitas pembawa muatan yang buruk. Untuk mengurangi rekombinasi pasangan e-/h+ pada CuBi2O4 ditambahkan Ag sehingga efisiensi degradasi fotokatalitik meningkat. CuBi2O4 disintesis melalui metode solvotermal sedangkan Ag/CuBi2O4 disintesis melalui metode presipitasi-reduksi dengan rasio mol prekursor Ag:CuBi2O4 (1:1), (2:1), dan (1:2). Hasil sintesis CuBi2O4 dan nanokomposit Ag/CuBi2O4 dikarakterisasi dengan XRD, TEM, FTIR, dan Spektroskopi UV-Vis DRS. Kemampuan fotokatalitik Ag/CuBi2O4 untuk mendegradasi metilen biru dianalisis dengan variasi jenis katalis, variasi massa katalis (5 mg, 10 mg, dan 15 mg), variasi waktu iradiasi, dan variasi kondisi (adsorpsi dan fotolisis). Hasil degradasi metilen biru oleh CuBi2O4 dan Ag/CuBi2O4 dianalisis dengan Spektroskopi UV-Vis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan Ag pada CuBi2O4 meningkatkan aktivitas fotokatalitik. Persentase degradasi metilen biru yang terbesar terjadi pada 10 mg Ag/CuBi2O4 (2:1) yaitu sebesar 82,51% dengan konstanta laju sebesar 9,07 x 10-3 menit-1.

Synthetic dyes are one of the pollutants in the aquatic environment because they are difficult to decompose and are persistent, so they can inhibit the penetration of sunlight into the water and cause a decrease in photosynthetic activity. Photocatalytic was performed to degrade synthetic dyes using CuBi2O4 which has a band gap energy of 1.75 eV. However, recombination of the e-/h+ pair on CuBi2O4 can occur due to the narrow band gap and because it has poor charge carrier mobility. In order to reduce the recombination of e-/h+ pairs in CuBi2O4, Ag was added so that the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation increased. CuBi2O4 was synthesized by the solvothermal method while Ag/CuBi2O4 was synthesized by the precipitation-reduction method with the mole ratio of Ag:CuBi2O4 precursors (1:1), (2:1), and (1:2). The CuBi2O4 and Ag/CuBi2O4 nanocomposites produced were characterized by XRD, TEM, FTIR, and UV-Vis DRS. The photocatalytic ability of Ag/CuBi2O4 nanocomposites in degrading methylene blue was analyzed with various catalyst types, catalyst mass variations (5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg), irradiation time variations, and conditions variations (adsorption and photolysis). Degradation results of methylene blue by CuBi2O4 and Ag/CuBi2O4 were analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the addition of Ag into CuBi2O4 increased the photocatalytic activity. The greatest percentage of methylene blue degradation occurred at 10 mg Ag/CuBi2O4 (2:1) which was 82,51% with a rate constant of 9.07 x 10-3 min-1."

In this study, nanocomposite alginate/CMC/ZnO was successfully synthesized and supported by characterization using FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, and UV-DRS. Alginate and CMC are biopolymers that have their advantages and able to form composites with good properties when combined and supported by ZnO semiconductors. The nanocomposite obtained has a band gap of 2.94 eV with a particle size of ZnO of around 58 nm. Alginate/CMC/ZnO nanocomposite was applied to test the photocatalytic activity of a solution of congo red dyes. Photocatalytic activity is carried out with UV light, sun, visible light, and without using light. The optimum condition of the photocatalytic reaction was obtained by weight of 60 mg nanocomposite, pH of the solution at pH 3, alginate and CMC ratio (1: 1), and reaction time for 110 minutes. The best degradation results are obtained using sunlight. The degradation products were tested using LC-MS and then the degradation results were approached due to the water compound because at the degradation results there were peaks at the retention time of 1.23 indicating that the dyestuffs had not been fully degradaded into water compounds. For the photocatalytic process, kinetics studies have been conducted in which the reaction that follows the first order kinetics with the value R2 is 0.9885 and the k constant rate is 0.0058 minutes-1 and the adsorption process follows the Langmuir isotherm with R2 of 0.9875.
