This paper reports in vitro studies of bio-performances of an aqueous extract of Paeonia officinalis fresh petals and its interaction with methylene blue/ deoxyribonucleic acid (MB/DNA) complex. Peony extract was characterized by spectral methods (UV-Vis absorption and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy). The phytoextract exhibited good antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Spectral investigations (UV-Vis absorption and emission spectra) on DNA stained with methylene blue as an optical probe, revealed that the peony extract replaced the dye in the biomolecule. The results could be exploited as an ecological strategy to design novel materials based on DNA and natural extracts..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
