Ternary copper(II) complexes [Cu(L-Ser)(HB)(U)](ClO4) (1 and 2) where L-Ser = L-Serine, U = Urea, HB is a N,N-donor heterocyclic bases, viz. 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (1), 2,2'- bipyridine (bpy) (2), are synthesized, characterized, and their DNA binding, cleavage and antimicrobial activities are studied. The one-electron paramagnetic complexes display a d-d band near 600 nm in water. Binding interactions of the complexes with calf thymus (CT) DNA have been investigated by absorption, emission, viscosity, and cyclic voltammetry studies. The complexes cleave the supercoiled DNA (pBR 322) to its nicked circular form in the presence of gallic acid at appropriate complexes concentration. The phen complex (1) displays significant binding propensity to the CT DNA. The bpy complex (2) does not show any significant binding to the DNA and hence poor cleavage efficiency.Keywords

Work is an integral part of everyday life, as it is our livelihood or career or business. On an average we spent twelve hours daily life and it is the one third of our entire life. Research on quality of work life is considered to be more important at the individual and organization level. Quality of work life is considered for both the employees and organization and it is involved with job satisfaction, productivity, job involvement, work environment, training and development, compensation and rewards, facilities, job enrichment etc. The success of any organisation is highly dependent on how it attracts recruits, motivates, and retains its workforce.
Today's organisation needs to be more flexible. So that they are equipped to develop their workforce and enjoy their commitment. This study is made attempt to analyses the “Quality of work life among the employees at textile industry with reference to Coimbatore District”. In order to improve quality of work life among the employees, various coping techniques have been suggested to upgrade the employee’s attitude towards their job and the working environment in the organization.

In this paper cobalt complex of type [Co(Bipy)2(8HQ)](ClO4)2 [Bipy = 2,2’-bipyridyl, HQ = 8-Hydroxy Quinoline) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, NMR, UV-visible, infrared spectral studies. DNA binding properties of this metal complex was investigated using absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. The experimental results indicate that the complex bind to DNA through an intercalative mode. The complex tested for biological activity and it has good antibacterial and antifungal activity on comparing with standard drugs.Keywords
