Investigations detailed in this thesis constitute a part of the continuing programme of research undertaken in our laboratory on the riboflavin carrier protein (RCP) with partic­ular reference to identification and synthesis ...

Troger's base was the first amine to be resolved where the chirality was due to solely very high inversion barrier around nitrogen atom. Though the molecule was known for over a century, work done during the past decade ...

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 ...

High performance multifunctional epoxy resin systems are becoming increasingly important as matrix materials for the advanced composites used in aerospace, electronics, automotive and other industries. In a composite based ...

A crude extract of axenically grown amoebae was used as antigen in order to develop an AB microELISA for the detection and quantitation of E. histolytica-specific IgG antibodies. This ELISA was used to screen individual ...

Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) are known to play an important role in clearing infectious virus from infected hosts in a variety of viral infections. Depending on the type of virus and mode of virus entry both class I and ...

Load distribution problems in distributed computing networks have attracted much attention in the literature. A major objective in these studies is to distribute the processing load so as to minimize the time of processing ...

Security systems are gaining increasing importance in recent times to protect life and valuable resources. Many advanced methods of providing security have been developed and are in use in the last few decades. Of these, ...

The term "lipid" covers an extremely diverse range of chemical or molecular species. Lipids, defined as molecules that are sparingly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents, are broadly categorized into ...

Homologous genetic recombination occurs during the life cycle of virtually every organism Genetic studies especially in prokaryotes and fungi have defined the rules of recombination, led to the characterization of alternate ...
