Molecular Actions Of Arecoline, An Alkaloid Implicated In The Manifestation Of Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF)
(2010-07-21)The pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is due to a complex interplay between the production and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) protein components. In tissue fibrosis, there is a net accumulation of ... -
Molecular Analysis Of Hamster Sperm Capacitation: Significance Of Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation
(2007-12-17)Fertilization is a process that generates the first cell of a new organism. In mammals, fertilization occurs in the female reproductive tract. The male gametes (spermatozoa) are rendered fertilization-competent only after ... -
Molecular Analysis of the Pore Forming Mechanism of an α-Helical Cytolysin
Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are lytic membrane binding proteins that are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom and disrupt the structural integrity of the host cell membrane. A unique characteristic of these toxins is that ... -
Molecular and biochemical studies on components of transcription regulation, tropane alkaloid biosynthesis and signal transduction in the medicinal plant Datura metel L.
Tropane alkaloids (TA) are among the oldest medicines known to humankind as they possess hallucinogenic and poisonous properties. Datura metel, an herbaceous plant, belongs to the family Solanaceae whose members are well ... -
Molecular Approaches and Structural Insights into Correlated Triplet Pair Dynamics in Intramolecular Singlet Fission
Singlet Fission (SF) is a bichromophoric process whereby a singlet exciton is converted to two triplet excitons through an overall spin-conserved process. The last decade has seen an upsurge in SF research driven by its ... -
Molecular Approaches To understand Cellular Differentiation - A Study Using BeWo Choriocarcinoma Cells
(2010-05-24)Cellular differentiation is a complex but fascinating process in all multicellular organisms. Differentiation can involve changes in numerous aspects of cell physiology; size, shape, polarity, metabolic activity, responsiveness ... -
The Molecular Basis for the Differential Antibiotic Susceptibility of Mycobacterial Subpopulations
Mycobacterial populations have evolved various strategies to withstand diverse stress conditions in the environment. One among these strategies is maintenance of phenotypic heterogeneity, in terms of cell morphology, ... -
Molecular basis of attenuation of the live attenuated Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine SA14-14-2
Japanese encephalitis virus is a member of Flaviviridae family. Flaviviridae family has four genera which comprises of Flavivirus, Pestivirus, Hepacivirus and Pegivirus. The global burden of disease caused by these viruses ... -
Molecular Characterisation Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Fic Protein And Its Gene And Identification And Characterisation Of A Novel Functional Interaction Between FtsZ And NDK in Mycobacteria
(2016-04-29)Living organisms employ different kinds of mechanisms, to regulate the functions of genes or their products, which may help in maintaining homeostasis inside the cell or may help in fighting hostile environment in the case ... -
Molecular Characterisation Of The ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporter Type FtsE And FtsX Proteins Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2008-09-30)Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the principal causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) in humans, is considered to be a successful pathogen owing to the elicitation of multidrug resistance, ability to survive inside macrophage ... -
Molecular Characterization c-di-GMP Signalling In Mycobacterium Smegmatis
(2014-07-17)Bacterial stationary phase is an interesting biological system to study, as the organism undergoes several metabolic changes during this period and new molecules are generated to support its survival. The stationary phase ... -
Molecular Characterization of Bacillus Subtilis Oxidoreductases involved in the Bacilysin Synthesis
