    "abstract": "Heavy metals have attracted considerable attention lately because of their widespread occurrence in aquatic environments and potential biological toxicity to animals and human. The current investigation focused on synthesizing the DAC@TCH nanobiosorbent by coupling dialdehyde cellulose with thiocarbohydrazide ligand. Subsequent characterization of DAC@TCH was carried out utilizing various analytical methods such as elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA and DTA). DFT calculations were utilized to verify the molecular structure, analysis of frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and reactivity descriptor for all phases. In vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the biological properties of the DAC@TCH nanobiosorbent. These findings revealed that the synthesized DAC@TCH nanobiosorbent has been observed to show effective antibacterial IZD value against E. Coli (28\u00a0mm) which is superior to the efficacy of standard drug amoxicillin used (5\u00a0mm). Furthermore, in silico antibacterial activities (molecular docking) of the DAC@TCH have indicated this to exhibit excellent efficacy with docking score of (-7.4237\u00a0kcal/mol) and (-7.1325\u00a0kcal/mol) for S. aureus and, E. coli, respectively. Meanwhile the binding energies (best docking scores) in kcal/mol for Amoxicillin are (-5.8090) and (-6.7442) for S. aureus and, E. coli, respectively. Drug-likeness rules like Lipinski's, Veber's and Egan's were considered for a more comprehensive evaluation. The prepared DAC@TCH nanobiosorbent was investigated for its potential to adsorb metal ions (Ag",
