Secondary Structures in Proteins : Identification and Analyses
(2018-07-12)
Proteins are large biomolecules consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. They perform a vast array of functions within living organisms. In this thesis, we present analyses of different secondary ...
In Silico Perspectives on RNA Structures Modulating Viral Gene Expression and Mechanics of tRNA Transport
(2018-07-19)
The repertoire of cellular functions mediated by Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules have expanded considerably during the last two decades. The role played by RNA in controlling and regulating gene expression in ...
Structural and Evolutionary Analyses of Signalling Proteins with Special Reference to Protein Kinases
(2018-02-27)
Cellular response to environmental changes involves a wide repertoire of complex signalling systems often resulting in up and down regulation of various genes. These mechanisms are generally conserved in a variety of ...
NMR Solution Structures of Human γC-Crystallin & the Intrinsically Disordered Viral Genome Linked Protein in the Free & Bound Form
(2018-02-14)
This thesis describes the tertiary structures and dynamic studies of two protein systems. The first is human γC -crystallin protein, which is present in the nucleus of the human eye lens and the other is the plant viral ...
Design of Influenza Immunogens by Hemagglutinin (HA) Protein Minimization
(2018-01-31)
Influenza virus is a pleiomorphic human pathogen which causes self-limiting respiratory illness lasting one-two weeks in most individuals. However, in immunologically compromised individuals, influenza infection may lead ...
Mass Spectrometric Deconvolution of Libraries of Natural Peptide Toxins
(2018-03-24)
This thesis deals with the analysis of natural peptide libraries using mass spectrometry. In the course of the study, both ribosomal and non-ribosomal classes of peptides have been investigated. Microheterogeneity, ...
Subthreshold Conductances Regulate Theta-Frequency Local Field Potentials and Spike Phase
(2018-02-21)
Local field potentials (LFPs), extracellular potentials that reflect localized electrical activity, have long been used as a window to understand the behavioural dependence and mechanistic aspects of brain physiology. A ...
Structure Determination of Proteins of Unknown Origin by a Marathon MR Protocol and Investigations on Parameters Important for Molecular Replacement Structure Solution
(2018-02-20)
Occasionally, crystallisation of proteins works in mysterious ways! One might obtain crystals of a protein of unknown identity in place of the protein for which crystallisation experiments were performed. If the investigator ...
Structural Studies on DNA Damage Inducible Protein 1 (Ddi1) of Leishmania and the Rotavirus Nonstructural Protein NSP4
(2018-01-17)
Structuraj investigations on the Ddi1 (DNA-damage inducible protein 1) of Leishmania major and on the rotavirus nonstructural protein NSP4 were carried out. Ddi1 belongs to the ubiquitin receptor family of proteins. One ...
Dissecting the C-DI-GMP Signaling Pathways : Tools and Tales
(2018-02-27)
Evaluating aerodynamic noise from aircraft engines is a design stage process, so that it conform to regulations at airports. Aerodynamic noise is also a principal source of structural vibration and internal noise in ...
