Adjunct Therapy with Curcumin for the Treatment of Malaria : Studies in a Murine Model
(2018-05-16)
Malaria accounts for 198 million cases worldwide; with a high mortality rate. 584000 deaths were reported in 2013. Malaria is a re-emerging disease globally due to drug resistance, parasite recrudescence and non-availability ...
Understanding the Dynamic Organization of the Presequence-Translocase in Translocation of Preproteins Across Mitochondrial Inner Membrane
(2018-05-08)
Mitochondrion is an endosymbiotic organelle synthesizing ~1% of its proteome, while remaining ~99% of the proteins are encoded by the nuclear genome and translated on the cytosolic ribosome. Therefore active mitochondrial ...
Elucidation of the Role of Nse1, a RING Domain Containing Component of Smc5/6 complex, in Maintenance of Chromosome Stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2018-05-21)
Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) proteins are a highly conserved class of proteins required for the maintenance of genome stability and regulate nearly all aspects of chromosome biology. Eukaryotes, such as the ...
Structure-Function Relationships of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Meiosis Specific Hop 1 Protein : Implications for Chromosome Condensation, Pairing and Spore Formation
(2018-03-07)
Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division essential for the production of four normal haploid gametes. In early prophase I of meiosis, the intimate synapsis between homologous chromosomes, and the formation of chiasmata, ...
Unfolded Protein Response in Malaria Parasite
(2018-01-28)
Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most virulent form of human malaria. The biology of the intra-erythrocytic stage of P. falciparum is the most well studied as it is this stage that marks the clinical manifestation ...
DNA Double-Strand Break Repair : Molecular Characterization of Classical and Alternative Nonhomologous End Joining in Mitochondrial and Cell-free Extracts
(2018-04-05)
Maintenance of genomic integrity and stability is of prime importance for the survival of an organism. Upon exposure to different damaging agents, DNA acquires various lesions such as base modifications, single-strand ...
Studies on Novel Functional Responses of Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages to Interferon-gamma : Roles of Nitric Oxide Synthase 2
(2018-04-18)
Interferons are known cytokines that display antiviral, anti-proliferative and immuno-modulatory functions in the host. Interferon-gamma (Ifnγ) is the only type II family interferon that binds to the heterodimeric receptor ...
Role of Grp 75 Chaperone Folding Machinery in the Maintenance of Mitochondrial Protien Quality Control
(2018-04-03)
My research focuses on understanding the importance of human mitochondrial Hsp70 (Grp75) chaperone machinery for the maintenance of protein quality control inside the mitochondrial matrix. The investigations carried out ...
Functional Characterization of C4 Protien of Cotton Leaf Curl Kokhran Virus - Dabawali
(2018-03-07)
1) Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses which contain circular single stranded DNA molecules as their genomes and the capsid consists of two icosahedra fused together to form twinned or geminate particles. The largest ...
