Structural Studies On Three-Fold Symmetric Plant Lectins
(2013-05-21)
Lectins, multivalent carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin, have the unique ability to decode the information contained in complex carbohydrate structures of glycoproteins and glycolipids by stereo-specifically ...
Structural And Mechanistic Studies On Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases From Drosophila Melanogaster
(2013-06-20)
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPs) initiate, modulate and terminate key cellular processes by dephosphorylating phosphotyrosine (pY) residues on signaling proteins. The coordinated action of PTPs with their cognate ...
Computer Modelling Studies On DNA Triple Helices
(2013-07-22)
Conformational Analysis And Design Of Disulfides In Antiparallel β-Sheets And Helices
(2013-08-30)
Disulfides are the primary covalent interactions within a protein molecule that connect residues which are sequentially distant. Naturally occurring disulfides enhance the stability of the protein by destabilization of ...
Biochemical Characterization Of Heat Shock Protein 90 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2013-06-07)
Molecular chaperones are a group of proteins which maintain cellular homeostasis by assisting de novo protein folding and their refolding to native state after destabilization due to external stress. They are also known ...
Metabolic Adaptation For Utilization Of Short-Chain Fatty Acids In Salmonella Typhimurium : Structural And Functional Studies On 2-methylcitrate Synthase, Acetate And Propionate Kinases
(2013-08-22)
Three-dimensional structures of proteins provide insights into the mechanisms of macromolecular assembly, enzyme catalysis and mode of activation, substrate-specificity, ligand-binding properties, stability and dynamical ...
Structure Analysis Of FabI And FabZ Enzymes Of The Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Pathway Of Plasmodium Falciparum
(2013-08-30)
The emergence of drug resistant strains of Plasmodium has given a new face to the old disease, malaria. One of the approaches is to block metabolic pathways of the pathogen. The current thesis describes the X-ray ...
