Stereochemical studies on peptide and protein structures: Implications for validation, flexibility, and dynamics
Accuracy of 3-D structures of proteins is crucial, both in terms of its agreement with the experimental data used to determine the structure and stereochemistry, especially when they are utilized for applications like drug ... -
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 ... -
Structural And Evolutionary Studies On Protein-Protein Interactions
(2014-05-27)The last few decades have witnessed an upsurge in the availability of large-scale data on genomes and genome-scale information. The development of methods to understand the trends and patterns from large scale data promised ... -
Structural and Mechanistic Features of Protein Assemblies with Special Reference to Spliceosome
(2017-12-07)Macromolecular assemblies such as the ribosome, spliceosome, polymerases are imperative for cellular functions. The current understanding of these important machineries and many other assemblies at the molecular level is ... -
Structural Bioinformatics of Ligand Recognition in Proteins : A large-scale Analysis and Applications in Drug Discovery
Biological processes are governed by highly specific macromolecular interactions. Understanding the precise mechanism of ligand recognition in proteins is essential for deriving features responsible for such recognition ... -
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 ... -
Structure, Stability and Evolution of Multi-Domain Proteins
(2018-04-11)Analyses of protein sequences from diverse genomes have revealed the ubiquitous nature of multi-domain proteins. They form up to 70% of proteomes of most eukaryotic organisms. Yet, our understanding of protein structure, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Use of strategically designed protein-like sequences in structure and function recognition
The advent of high fidelity protein sequencing techniques has led to a considerable wealth of sequence data. However, the number of proteins with information on 3-D structure and functional features available is considerably ... -
Use of sub-family specific residues of protein modules in recognizing sites of functional and structural specialization
Functional and regulatory features of a protein in a living system are determined by several factors such as chemical nature and three-dimensional arrangement of residues in the functional site, spatial and temporal ...
