General description
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (polyvidone, povidone, or PVP) is a synthetic water-soluble polymer consisting of linear 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone groups. It is hygroscopic and readily absorbs up to 40% of water by its weight. It has excellent wetting properties in solution and easily forms films, which makes it suitable for use as a coating additive.PVP can be synthesized from its monomer N-vinylpyrrolidone via free-radical polymerization in the presence of AIBN as an initiator. In chemical industries, PVP is widely used as a surface stabilizer, growth modifier, nanoparticle dispersant, and reducing agent.
PVP can serve as a surface stabilizer, nanoparticle dispersant, growth modifier, and reducing agent, depending on the synthetic conditions.

Application
PVP (average mol wt 10,000) can be used as a stabilizing agent in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles to prevent them from agglomeration. PVP is also used in the fabrication of mesoporous silica-polymer hybrid (PVP-aminopropyl-SBA-15 Schiff Base hybrid) for the effective removal of divalent heavy metal cations from wastewater. Grafting of PVP functionalization offers a strong affinity for heavy metal ions because it provides two adsorption sites, one through metal-C-O group interaction and the other through metal-π interaction (the chelation of with Schiff base).
Other Notes
Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a component of Denhardt′s Solution and is included at a concentration of 1% (w/v) in the standard 50X stock solution.

Next-generation sequencing technologies rely on high quality DNA that is suitable for library preparation followed by sequencing. Some plant species store large amounts of phenolics and polysaccharides within their leaf tissue making genomic DNA extraction difficult. While many DNA extraction

Apolipoprotein M (APOM) has been suggested as a vasculoprotective constituent of high density lipoprotein (HDL), which plays a crucial role behind the mechanism of HDL-mediated anti-atherosclerosis. Previous studies demonstrated that insulin resistance could associate with decreased APOM expressions. In agreement
