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 ... -
Molecular insights into AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated regulation of anoikis resistance
Our study identifies negative cross-talk between AMPK and two important cellular kinases, Akt and Erk. AMPK-mediated inhibition of these two kinases promotes survival of cancer cells in the matrix-deprived condition. ... -
Molecular Insights into Lymphoid Malignancy : Role of Transcription Factor BCL11B in T-cell Leukemia Genesis and Biochemical Characterization of DNA Binding Domain of RAG1
(2018-06-29)The lymphoid tissues consist of distinct cell subpopulations of B and T cell lineages and possess complex signaling pathways that are controlled by a myriad of molecular interactions. During the fine-tuned developmental ... -
Molecular insights into the regulation of host unfolded protein response and angiogenesis during Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), continues to co-evolve with the human population, rendering it one of the most significant global health threats among infectious diseases. The ... -
Molecular Insights into the Structure and Function of Pepper Vein Banding Virus Encoded Proteins and Endocytic Uptake Pathway of Virus-like Particles into Mammalian Cells
Viruses are major pathogenic agents that cause a variety of diseases in all living systems. Since their first isolation in 1892 by Dimitrii Ivanovsky, methods of their diagnosis and control, their life cycles, host - virus ... -
Molecular Interactions Between SARS-CoV-2 Viral and Human Cellular Factors: Implications for Viral Infection, Replication, and Disease
The COVID-19 pandemic was this century's most significant global public health crisis. The causative agent was SARS-CoV-2, an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense virus. As an obligate intracellular pathogen, SARS-CoV-2 ...
