CHM 08 Structural Studies of Valine Complexes with Biological Activity

Abstract

A transition metal ion combination of Ni(II) ion with mixed ligands has been produced, whereby Valine serves as the secondary ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in its principal role.  The ability of the complex to stop the growth diameter of three different species of fungi - Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus Niger, and Pencillium was used to measure its antifungal properties at different concentrations.
