CHM010 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.
