Biochemical Characterization Of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2 Using Telomeric DNA : A Role For The Endonucleolytic Activity Of Mre11 In Telomere Length Maintenance And Its Regulation By Rad50
(2009-05-15)Meiotic recombination is a prerequisite for exchange of genetic information in all Sexually reproducing organisms. This process is initiated by the formation of double stranded breaks (DSBs) in DNA followed by homology ... -
Biochemical characterization of UvrD helicase and its 1 interplay with DNA mismatch repair proteins in 2 Neisseria gonorrhoeae
UvrD helicase belongs to type I superfamily of helicases. It participates in Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) and DNA Mismatch Repair (MMR). It also participates in the rolling circle replication. It has been shown that ... -
Biochemical, Biophysical and Evolutionary Perspectives of Zinc Finger Proteins in Mycobacterium smegmatis
(2018-05-21)Transcription is a major step in expression of genes of a given organism. Due to environmental constrains this step must be regulated in the favour of the sustenance and growth of the organism. Here comes the relevance of ... -
Biochemical, Genetic and Molecular characterization of TCP3 and TCP4 transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana
The TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORs (TCP) family of proteins consists of plant-specific, non-canonical basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that perform diverse developmental processes. ... -
Biodegradable Polymers for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering
(2018-06-29)Regeneration, a spontaneous response of bones in response to injuries, infections and fractures, is severely compromised in certain clinical circumstances. Unfortunately, several shortcomings are associated with the current ... -
Biodegradation Of 1-Naphthoic Acid
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-06)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are compounds containing carbon and hydrogen atoms of fused benzene rings in linear, angular or cluster arrangements. These compounds have a large (negative) resonance energy, resulting ... -
Biodiesel from Estuarine Microalgae - Diatoms
Rapidly depleting fossil fuel reserves with the burgeoning demand, associated escalating GHG footprint, and changes in the climate necessitated the exploration of alternate sustainable energy resources that are renewable, ... -
Biofilm Reactors for Greywater Treatment
Greywater (GW) is the fraction of wastewater discharged in houses that has not been contaminated with faeces. The average volumes of greywater generated in the households of Bengaluru varies between 40-70 litres/cap/day ... -
Biogeography and comparative phylogeography of freshwater snails of India
Distribution of flora and fauna is shaped by both current and historical processes. In my thesis I concentrated on how the historical component of the governing processes have dictated the current distribution of biota. ... -
Bioinspiration for battling bacteria: Nature inspired high aspect ratio nanostructures for new age antibacterial surfaces
Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces effectuate corrosion, fermentation, and infection resulting in tremendous economic and human losses each year. Aggravating the situation, new multi-drug ... -
The Biology Of Two Sexes : A Study Of The Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata
(2009-05-21)A striking feature of hymenopterans societies is the absence of male workers. Foraging, nest building, brood care and all other activities required for the functioning of the colony are carried out by the females. These ... -
Biomimetic Studies On Anti-Thyroid Drugs And Thyroid Hormone Synthesis
(2009-05-22)Thyroxine (T4), the main secretory hormone of the thyroid gland, is produced on thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase (TPO)/hydrogen peroxide/iodide system. The synthesis of T4 by TPO involves two independent steps: iodination ... -
Biomimetic Studies on Tyrosine- and Phenolate- Based Ligands and their Metal Complexes
(2017-11-14)Tyrosine (4-hydroxyphenylalanine) is one of the naturally occurring 22 amino acids. The importance of tyrosine is due to the presence of its phenolic side chain. In biological systems, the tyrosyl residue in proteins is ... -
Biophysical Studies on Mycobacterium Tuberculosis σ Factor – Regulatory Protein Complexes
Adaptation to external environmental conditions is essential for the survival of a bacterial cell. Bacteria have thus evolved multiple mechanisms to sense environmental stimuli and to couple this information into an ... -
Biophysical Studies On The Plastic And Cooperative Properties Of Single Voltage Gated Na+ And Leak K+ Ion Channels
(2011-03-08)Ion channels are fundamental molecules in the nervous system that catalyze the flux of ions across the cell membrane. There are mounting evidences suggesting that the kinetic properties of ion channels undergo activity-dependent ... -
Biophysics of focal adhesion and cytoskeletal remodeling under fluid shear
Mechanosensors play a vital role in how cells respond to external forces, impacting cell-substrate adhesions through integrin clustering and focal adhesion formation associated with actomyosin contractility. Adhesions ... -
