Neuronal complex bursts and network information transfer in the hippocampus are robust to biophysical heterogeneities
Biological entities must adopt mechanisms to override the impact of external perturbations to achieve stability and robustness. A crucial feature of biological systems is that they exhibit several forms of heterogeneities ...
Role of autophagy in reducing peripheral neuropathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when there is damage to the central or peripheral nervous system due to injury, disease, diabetes, or drug use. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a distinct feature observed in neuropathic ...
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 ...
Understanding structure, function, and dynamics in macromolecular complexes
In the scope of my thesis work, a concerted effort was undertaken to elucidate bi-
ological functions through the lens of structural analysis, employing protein dy-
namics. The role of protein dynamics in shaping and ...
Conformational Heterogeneity, Solution Structure and Autoregulatory Roles of the MazE9 Antitoxin from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The work presented in this thesis endeavors to decode the details of the dynamics of MazE9 antitoxin of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MazEF9 toxin-antitoxin system and the transcriptional autoregulation effected by it. ...
On mechanisms and conformational dynamics of Drug:H+ Antiporters
Multidrug efflux is an active transport process involving energy consumption to drive antibacterial compounds out of cells. This is performed either through primary active transport, where chemical energy, such as hydrolysis ...
Understanding the interaction mechanism of bacterial virulence factors and effector proteins with host lipid membrane using single particle cryo-electron microscopy
Pathogenic bacteria employ an array of biological macromolecules and cellular
structures that help in the initiation and progression of disease in host organism.
These ‘virulence factors’ can either be secreted by the ...
Understanding protein structural excursions using residue networks and implications on biological function
The information required for a protein structure to fold into the native conformation is encoded in its sequence. Studying protein structures help to understand their biological function. Molecular interactions between ...
