Bortezomib (BOZ) is a proteasome inhibitor chemotherapeutic agent utilized to treat multiple myeloma and recently offered to cure melanoma. Bortezomib-induced neuropathy is one of the dose-limiting side-effects, which can be treated with antioxidants (e.g. alpha-lipoic acid-ALA and Vitamin B1-vit B1).

Chiral recognition is of fundamental importance in chemistry and life sciences and the principle of chiral recognition is instructive in chiral separation and enantioselective catalysis. Non-chiral Ag nanoparticles (NPs) conjugated with chiral cysteine (Cys) molecules demonstrate strong circular dichroism (CD)
