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 ...
Structural Studies On Mycobacterium Smegmatis Dps Molecules
(2010-02-22)
Oxidative stress is a universal phenomenon experienced by both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during the stress, which can damage most cellular components including proteins, ...
Structural Studies On Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate Dependent Enzymes Involved In D-Amino Acid Metabolism And Acid Tolerance Reponse
(2015-08-19)
Metabolism of D-amino acids is of considerable interest due to their key importance in cellular functions. The enzymes D-serine dehydratase (DSD) and D-cysteine desulfhydrase (DCyD) are involved in the degradation of D-Ser ...
Structural Studies on Bacterial Adenylosuccinate Lyase and Sesbania Mosaic Virus Protease
(2018-05-08)
The three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules and molecular assemblies are becoming increasingly important with the changing methodologies of drug discovery. The structures aid in understanding of protein ...
Structural Investigations Of Sugar-Binding And Multivalency In Peanut Lectin
(2009-03-04)
Starting with the structure analysis of ConA in the 70s, the crystal structures of hundreds of different lectins and their carbohydrate complexes have been determined. Lectins, multivalent carbohydrate-binding proteins ...
First thorough characterization of the structure, interactions and specificity of an archeal lectin with implication for TB infection
Decades long studies on plant lectins carried out in this laboratory have contributed substantially to glycobiology and helped in the initiation and development of macromolecular crystallography in India. Subsequently the ...
Identification, characterization, structure, and assembly of type III toxin-antitoxin systems from Escherichia coli
Bacteria adopt several defense strategies to enable their survival against the environmental threats they encounter from time to time. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are being understood as a key bacterial defense mechanism ...
Structural and biochemical studies on mycobacterial Uracil-DNA glycosylase (Ung) and MutT1, key proteins involved in maintaining the genomic integrity in Mycobacteria
Maintaining genomic integrity is indispensable for the survival and propagation of an organism. Failure to do so can cause mutations involving structural and functional aberrations, leading to severe diseases. The causative ...
Structural insights into the organization and channel behavior of Pannexin isoforms
Pannexins are large-pore ion channels structurally related to Connexins and Innexins but remain as hemichannels to release cellular ATP upon activation. Pannexins comprise three isoforms, Pannexin1, 2, and 3, with diverse ...
Solution NMR studies of a potent subtilisin inhibitor from Budgett’s frog and the catalytic subunit of AHAS
This thesis involves a detailed structural study of two molecular systems, a small disulfide-rich peptide LL-TIL and a large catalytic subunit of AHAS.
Subtilisin inhibitors play an important role in fighting against ...
