Molecular pathways governing maturation and decay of precursor piRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are an animal-specific class of germline-enriched small non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in germline development and fertility in diverse organisms. In Caenorhabditis elegans (C. ... -
Molecular Phenotyping of Mutations in Guanylyi Cyclase C Associated with Congenital Diarrhea
(2018-02-28)Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a member of particulate guanylyl cyclases, discovered primarily as the target of a family of heat stable enterotoxins (ST), produced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). ST is acknowledged ... -
Molecular Simulation of Anisotropic Stress and Structure in polymers
(2018-02-15)This dissertation presents a numerical study using molecular dynamic simulations that interrogates the polymer structure as it is strained continuously in time and correlates it with the stress developed in it. We investigate ... -
Molecular simulation of thermal conductivity in DNA and phonon dispersion in layered materials
Heat conduction plays a key role and is linked to the underneath lattice structure. The heat transfer in soft matter materials like DNA and polymers is seldom understood and is deeply linked to the geometry and functional ... -
Molecular Simulation Studies of Competing Pathways in Crystal Nucleation
Microscopic nature of nuclei and extremely fast nucleation events makes it difficult to study nucleation experimentally. Route to nucleation can be effected by different parameters such as thermodynamic conditions, uid ... -
Molecular Simulation Study of Electric Double Layer Capacitor With Aqueous Electrolytes
(2018-05-22)Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are an important class of electrical energy storage devices which store energy in the form of electric double layers. The charging mechanism is highly reversible physical adsorption ... -
Molecular Simulations Of Temperature Induced Disorder And Pressure Induced Ordering In Organic Molecular Crystals
(2007-09-05)Crystallographically solids with well defined crystal structures are normally assumed to be highly ordered. However, it is not uncommon to find considerable degree of disorder amongst many of these crystalline substances. ... -
A molecular systems approach to unravel mechanisms and targets in antifolate-resistant bacteria and cancers
Antifolates such as trimethoprim (TMP) and methotrexate (MTX) widely used for treating bacterial infections and certain cancers respectively, inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in the folate pathway. However, the use ... -
Molecular Transport in Polyelectrolyte Multilayers
(2018-06-26)Layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes is a simple technique based on the self-assembly of polycations and polyanions mainly by electrostatic interactions, which has gained considerable scientific interest for its ... -
