Molecular conformation and electronic structure of compounds related to amides & thioamides - a study by ab initio & semiemperical molecular orbital methods
The molecular conformation of amide derivatives is of paramount importance in understanding the factors which govern the conformations of peptides and proteins. A study of the barriers to internal rotation aids in ... -
Molecular Construction Using Carbene and Diboron Systems: Catalytic Transformation of C-C and C-Hetero Atom Bonds
The thesis presents an unconventional approach for the molecular construction using carbenes as the carbon source, and water as the hydrogen source. A gold-catalyst has been used to transfer the carbenes to effect ... -
Molecular design strategy for high EQE and low efficiency roll-off TADF organic light emitting diodes
Purely organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters are cost-effective alternatives to the rare-earth-metal-based phosphorescent emitters, offering high exciton utilization for advanced optoelectronic ... -
Molecular Determinants of Mutant Phenotypes in the CcdAB Toxin -Antitoxin System
(2018-05-29)A major challenge in biology is to understand and predict the effect of mutations on protein structure, stability and function. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction on protein sequence-structure relationships and use ... -
Molecular determinants of self-assembly of the pore forming toxin Cytolysin A
Pore forming toxins (PFTs) belong to a class of bacterial exotoxins that disrupt the biological membrane barrier by formation of nanopores. These toxins are central to the virulence of pathogens such as S. pneumoniae, ... -
Molecular dissection of Komagataella phaffii Rtg1–RtgX function and development of a glutamate-responsive protein expression platform
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-LZ) proteins Rtg1 and Rtg3 form a heterodimeric transcription factor complex that mediates the retrograde response. In Candida albicans, these ... -
Molecular Dynamics Investigations of Hybrid Nanopores for Single Molecule DNA Sequencing
High throughput methods accelerate the drug discovery, biomolecule detection and sequencing applications pipeline. Single molecule detection technique facilitates the implementation of high throughput methods by eliminating ... -
Molecular dynamics investigations of the bacterial cell envelope: Elucidating differential barriers for antimicrobials
The bacterial cell envelopes possess a complex multilayered architecture exhibiting unique properties evolved to regulate interactions with the external environment and molecules with antimicrobial properties. A molecular ... -
Molecular dynamics of the sorption and diffusion behaviour of spherical sorbates in the confined region of zeolites Y and A
The sorbate–zeolite RDFs and sorbate–zeolite energy distribution functions suggest that the sorbates are largely localized inside the cages at the lowest temperature (188 K) studied. At low temperature, the sorbate prefers ... -
Molecular dynamics simulations of O-linked Oligosaccharides from respiratory-mucus glycoproteins
Mucins belong to the class of glycoproteins that contain oligosaccharide chains in which the N-acetylgalactosamine residue is covalently linked to the hydroxyl oxygen atom in the side chain of serine or threonine on the ... -
Molecular Dynamics simulations reveal the role of membrane cholesterol in the pore forming pathway of Cytolysin A
We investigate the interactions of pore-forming toxins (PFTs) with cholesterol-rich membranes through atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The PFT of interest is Cytolysin A (ClyA or HlyE). Cytolysin A (ClyA), an ... -
Molecular Dynamics Studies of Diffusion in Confined Regions
Diffusion of guest molecules under confinement of zeolites shows many interesting properties due to guest-host interactions. This thesis explores some of these interesting behaviours relating to the diffusion of guest ... -
Molecular Ecology of the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata : Relatedness, Queen Succession and Population Genetics
(2018-06-08)Altruism is defined as a trait in an individual that increases some other individual’s fitness at the expense of her own. Therefore, existence of such traits in a population is an evolutionary paradox, as natural selection ... -
Molecular Expression Through Fluorescence: Studies In Probe Design And Aggregation
(2007-12-29)The present thesis entitled, "Molecular expression through fluorescence: Studies in probe design and aggregation" describes very simple bi-functional donor-acceptor poly-aromatic fluorophores that have been shown to possess ... -

Molecular Genetic Analysis Of The Role Of Nse2, A SUMO E3 Ligase Of The Smc5/6 Complex, In Resisting Genotoxic Stress And Maintaining Chromosome Stability In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2011-01-20)DNA repair pathways have evolved to protect the genome from damage caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Although numerous DNA repair mechanisms have been studied and reported, information regarding how they coordinate ... -
MOLECULAR GENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS COMPLEX
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-21)Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects several organs in the human body including the brain, heart, kidneys, eyes, skin, spleen, liver and lungs [Roach, et al., 1999]. TSC is ... -
Molecular Genetic Analysis of Trichome Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
Several mutants with aberrant trichome patterning and differentiation are known in Arabidopsis. The genes involved in these processes code for proteins with diverse functions such as transcription, protein degradation, ... -
Molecular Genetic Studies On Pre-mRNA Splicing Factors Of Fission And Budding Yeasts
(2010-10-05)Nuclear pre-mRNA splicing proceeds via two mechanistically conserved consecutive trans-esterification reactions catalyzed by the spliceosome. The ordered coalescence of spliceosomal snRNPs and splicing factors on the ...
