Exploring Protein-Nucleic Acid Interactions Using Graph And Network Approaches
(2009-09-22)The flow of genetic information from genes to proteins is mediated through proteins which interact with the nucleic acids at several stages to successfully transmit the information from the nucleus to the cell cytoplasm. ... -
Graph Spectral Methods for Analysis of Protein Structures
Network representation of protein structures is an information-rich mode of examining protein structure, dynamics and its interactions with biomolecules. Graph spectral methods are extremely useful and powerful in analysing ... -
A Multiscale Modeling Study of Iron Homeostasis in Mycrobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-05-10)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), has remained the largest killer among infectious diseases for over a century. The increasing emergence of drug resistant varieties such as the ... -
Probing Ligand Induced Perturbations In Protien Structure Networks : Physico-Chemical Insights From MD Simulations And Graph Theory
(2014-07-16)The fidelity of biological processes and reactions, inspite of the widespread diversity, is programmed by highly specific physico-chemical principles. This underlines our basic understanding of different interesting phenomena ... -
Protein-DNA Graphs And Interaction Energy Based Protein Structure Networks
(2013-01-29)Proteins orchestrate a number of cellular processes either alone or in concert with other biomolecules like nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. They exhibit an intrinsic ability to fold de novo to their functional ... -
Role of Glycosylation and Oligomerization on the Stability of Soybean Agglutinin
Carbohydrates are vital to life. In their naive form, they serve as a primary energy source for supporting life. However, in most cases carbohydrates do not exist as simple sugars in nature. Instead they occur as more ... -
Structural, Biophysical And Biochemical Studies On Mannose-Specific Lectins
(2013-01-17)For a long time, the scientific community underestimated the value of carbohydrates and the approach of most scientists to the complex world of glycans was apprehensive. The scenario, however, has changed today. With the ... -
Structure Function Relationship In Tryptophanyl tRNA Synthetase Through MD Simulations & Quantum Chemical Studies On Unusual Bonds In Biomolecules
(2010-10-21)Biological processes are so complicated that to understand the mechanisms underlying the functioning of biomolecules it is inevitable to study them from various perspectives and with a wide range of tools. Understanding ... -
Structure-Function Correlations In Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetases Through The Dynamics Of Structure Network
(2010-08-16)Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are at the center of the question of the origin of life and are essential proteins found in all living organisms. AARSs arose early in evolution to interpret genetic code and are believed ... -
Studies on Dynamic Plasticity of Ligand Binding Sites in Proteins
Molecular recognition between proteins and their associated ligands constitutes ligand-induced protein rewiring thereby enabling the formation of a stable protein-ligand complex. The studies presented in this thesis address ... -
Topology-based Sequence Design For Proteins Structures And Statistical Potentials Sensitive To Local Environments
(2013-01-17)Proteins, which regulate most of the biological activities, perform their functions through their unique three-dimensional structures. The folding process of this three dimensional structure from one dimensional sequence ...
