Exploring The Role Of The Highly Conserved Residues In Triosephosphate Isomerase
(2014-08-11)
This thesis discusses the structure-function studies on triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) from Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), directed towards understanding the roles of highly conserved residues by site derected mutagenesis. ...
Mechanistic And Functional Insights Into Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Induced Expression Of Cyclooxygenase-2 : Implications For Immune Evasion Strategies
(2014-09-25)
Mycobacteria are multifaceted pathogens capable of causing both acute disease as well as an asymptomatic latent infection. Protective immunity against pathogenic mycobacteria depends principally on cell-mediated immunity ...
Studies On The Mechanism Of Uracil Excision Repair In Escherichia Coli And Structure-Function Relationship Of Single Stranded DNA Binding Proteins From Escherichia Coli And Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2014-12-11)
To maintain the genomic integrity, cell has evolved various DNA repair pathways. Base Excision Repair pathway (BER) is one such DNA repair pathway which is dedicated to protect DNA from small lesions such as oxidation, ...
Modulation Of Bacterial Pathogenesis By Curcumin
(2014-07-03)
Foodborne diseases are one among the diseases with high morbidity and mortality rate. The concern is raised with the emergence of pathogenic strains that are resistant to the available set of antibiotics. Conventional ...
Insights Into The Contribution Of Hfq In Salmonella Pathogenesis : Possible Role In Immune Evasion And Vaccine Development
(2014-10-07)
Chapter I Introduction Salmonellae are facultative Gram-negative intracellular pathogens. Different serovars of it causes a variety of diseases in multiple hosts with different disease outcomes. Salmonella enterica serovar ...
Identification Of GAL102 Encoded UDP-Glucose 4, 6 Dehydratase Activity, As A Novel Virulence Factor In Candida Albicans
(2014-08-11)
Among fungal pathogens responsible for opportunistic infections, species of the genus Candida have a major role (Mitchell, 1998). Various Candida species cause superficial infections which can be cured by the currently ...
Biochemical Characterization Of An Acid-Adaptive Type III DNA Methyltransferase From Helicobacter Pylori 26695 And Its Biological Significance
(2014-12-15)
Enzyme DNA methylation is an important biochemical process that imprints DNA with additional information. DNA methylation is catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltraferases (MTases). Prokaryotic ...
The Mechanism Of Fragility Of The BCL2 And HOX11 Breakpoint Regions During t(14;18) And t(10;14) Chromosomal Translocations In Lymphoid Cancers
(2014-08-05)
Haematological cancers like leukemia and lymphoma are characterized by genetic abnormalities, specifically chromosomal translocations. Analyses of the translocation breakpoint regions in patients have shown that some loci ...
Insights Into Transcription-Repair Coupling Factor From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2014-12-01)
Introduction
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved pathway involved in repair of a wide variety of structurally unrelated DNA lesions. One of the well characterized NER systems is from E. coli which ...
