Abstract:
Nanobiotechnology focuses on studying the synthesis and properties of small biological structures. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a valuable inorganic compound known for its robust properties in the field of medicine. ZnO nano-particles (ZnO-NPs) are metallic nano-particles known for their excellent biological, catalytic, and UV-blocking properties. The purpose of the current research is optimizing the reaction parameters for biosynthesized ZnO-NPs (synthesized by seed-extract of Lallemantia royleana) and to investigate their anti-bacterial, catalytic degradative and anti-inflammatory activities. These biosynthesized ZnO-NPs exhibit strong anti-bacterial and catalytic degradative potential. Our research findings indicated that ZnO-NPs effectively destroy the organic dyes and possess strong anti-bacterial properties.
