Computational Analyses of Protein Structure and Immunogen Design
(2018-08-20)
The sequence of a polypeptide chain determines its structure which in turns determines its function. A protein is stabilized by multiple forces; hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bond formation ...
Mechanistic Insights into the Role of IGFBP-2 in Glioblastoma
(2018-08-13)
Insulin like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs) 1 to 6 have important physiological functions of regulating half life and bioavailability of Insulin like Growth Factors (IGFs). Consequently, these have been known to ...
Understanding the SNARE Dynamics During Melanosome Biogenesis
(2018-08-11)
Melanosome biogenesis is a highly regulated endosomal maturation process wherein structural fibers harbouring immature melanosomes acquires its biosynthetic proteins through the secretory pathway and finally matures into ...
Role of VILAMBIT Genes Controlling Flowering Time and Jasmonic Acid Signaling in Arabidopsis
(2018-08-14)
The transition to flowering is an important decision for plants since seed-setting and the survival of the progeny depend on the environmental conditions prevalent during this transition. Therefore, to ensure maximum ...
Synergistic Influence of Gene Architecture and Promoter Structure on Transcription in Plants : An in silico Analysis
Understanding the structural organisation of genome and insightful information of gene has helped in exploring the regulation and expression of the gene at a molecular and cellular level. In eukaryotes, the gene regulation ...
Factors Regulating Cerebellar Granule Neuron Progenitor Proliferation
Cerebella granule neuron progenitors (CGNPs) give rise to a homogenous group of neurons called the cerebellar granule neurons in the developing cerebellum (a hindbrain structure classically associated with fine motor ...
Understanding the Mechanism of Homologous Recombination in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis : Exploring RecA as an Antibacterial Target and Characterization of Holliday Junction Resolvases
(2018-08-09)
Homologous recombination (HR) is conserved across all three domains of life and is associated with a number of key biological processes. Over the years, numerous genetic, biochemical and structural studies have uncovered ...
Chimeric Virus Like Particles as Nanocarriers for Antibody Delivery in Mammalian Cells & Role of Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus NSs in Viral Life Cycle
(2018-08-02)
Knowledge of the dissociation constants of the ionizable protons of weak acids in aqueous media is of fundamental importance in many areas of chemistry and biochemistry. The pKa value, or equilibrium dissociation constant, ...
Substrate Specificity Determinants of Class III Nucleotide Cyclases
(2018-07-31)
Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP (cAMP and cGMP) are important second messengers in key signal-transduction pathways that mediate various physiological functions in bacteria and eukaryotes. Adenylyl Cyclases (ACs) and Guanylyl ...
The Role of DNA Structural Features of Eukaryotic Promoter Sequences in Transcription Regulation
(2018-09-04)
Understanding the molecular structure of DNA was considered as greatest achievement in modern biology. It helped in understanding fundamental cellular processes such as replication of DNA, nature of the ...
