Computational And Biochemical Studies On The Enzymes Of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Pathway : Towards Antimalarial And Antibacterial Drug Discovery
(2009-08-13)
Malaria, caused by the parasite Plasmodium, continues to exact high global morbidity and mortality rate next only to tuberculosis. It causes 300-500 million clinical infections out of which more than a million people succumb ...
Structural Studies On Basic Winged Bean Agglutinin
(2009-07-03)
The journey of structural studies on lectins, starting with ConA in the 70s, has crossed many milestones. Lectins, multivalent carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin, specifically bind diverse sugar structures. ...
Computer Modeling and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Of Angiogenins And Its Ligand Bound Complexes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-05-04)
Computational structural biology
Even with rapid advances in structure determination methods, there is a long gap to be bridged between the number of proteins that have been sequenced and the number whose three-dimensional ...
Mass Spectrometric Sequencing Of Acyclic And Cyclic Peptides
(2009-05-18)
Elucidation of the primary structure of peptides and proteins de novo by mass spectrometry (MS) has become possible with the advent of tandem MS methods. The most widely used chemical method due to Edman (Edman & Begg, ...
Thermodynamic Characterization Of Wild Type And Mutants Of The E.coli Periplasmic Binding Proteins LBP, LIVBP, MBP And RBP
(2009-03-13)
Native states of globular proteins typically show stabilization in the range of 5 to
15 kcal/mol with respect to their unfolded states. There has been a considerable progress in the area of protein stability and folding ...
Mechanism Of Interaction Of Escherichia Coli σ70 With Anti-Sigma Factors
(2009-08-03)
In bacteria, the RNA polymerase (RNAP) consists of the following subunits: α2, β, β’, ω and σ. The core RNAP (α2ββ’ω) possesses the polymerising activity and it associates with one of the sigma factors to initiate transcription ...
Structural Studies On The Enzymes FabI And FabZ Of Plasmodium Falciparum
(2008-10-20)
The thesis deals with X-ray crystallographic analysis of two enzymes involved in the fatty
acid biosynthesis pathway, known as Fatty Acid Synthase or FAS, of the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, in order to ...
Design And Isolation Of Temperature Sensitive Mutants Of Gal4 In Yeast And Drosophila
(2009-04-16)
Genomic and proteomic investigations have yielded, and continue to produce, a large amount of information about genes and their protein products. In contrast, the evidence bearing on physiological roles of specific proteins ...
Structural Studies On Winged Bean Agglutinins
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-01-11)
Lectins are multivalent carbohydrate binding proteins that specifically recognise diverse sugar structures and mediate a variety of biological processes, such as cell-cell and host-pathogen interactions, serum glycoprotein ...
Stringent Response In Mycobacteria: Molecular Dissection Of Rel
(2007-11-29)
Adaptation to any undesirable change in the environment dictates the survivability of many microorganisms. Such changes generate a quick and suitable response, which guides the physiology of bacteria. Stringent response ...
