Understanding the relation between amino acid sequences and protein structures is one of the most important problems in modern molecular biology. However, due to the complexities in the protein structure, this task is ...

Microfabricated thermal cyclers for nucleic acid amplification by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been demonstrated by several groups over the last decade, with improved cycling speed and smaller volumes when ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is arguably the most studied and most important biological molecule. Recently, it has also been established as a potential candidate for nanoconstruction. Self-assembly of DNA molecules has ...

There is a growing consensus that life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) arise because of the formation of spiral waves of electrical activation in cardiac ...

There is a growing consensus that life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like ven- tricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) arise because of the formation of spiral waves of electrical activation in cardiac ...

This thesis describes the study on structure and dynamics of various kinds of molecular membranes in general. We have studied the morphological transition of colloidal as well as biologically relevant membranes and ...

Cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), are among the leading causes of death in the industrialized world. There is growing consensus that these arrhythmias are associated ...

The experiment discussed in the next chapter was to confirm the aforementioned bystander effect. In the first experiment we separated hosting and non-hosting mRBCs by the percol purification method and then measured the corner ...

Thymidylate kinase (TMK) is a key enzyme for DNA synthesis. It occurs at the junction of the de novo and salvage pathways for the synthesis of deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP). Its inhibition affects cell viability, ...
