Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected more than 762 million people to date and caused approximately 7 deaths all around the world, involving 187 countries. Although currently available vaccines show high efficacy in preventing severe complications patients, number of mutations S proteins current variants is responsible for level immune evasion transmissibility virus reduced effectiveness acquired immunity. In this scenario, development safe...

Citrazinic acid (CZA) is a weakly fluorescent molecular compound whose optical properties are dependent on aggregation states and chemical environment. This molecule its derivatives have been recently identified as the source of intense blue emission carbon dots obtained from citric with nitrogen source, such ammonia or urea. has strong tendency to aggregate form tautomers largely unexplored. At extreme acidic basic pH values, we observed an "anomalous" response citrazinic acid, attributed...
