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 ... -
Plug in the pupa: Insights into the evolutionary ecology of the complex life cycle of Aedes aegypti
Multiple traits, including antipredator responses, foraging behaviour, development rate and fecundity, contribute towards an organism’s fitness. These diverse traits interact through shared resources allocated to maximise ... -
Shared and distinct mechanisms of saccade preparation, external and internal attention
Everyday activities – like reading an email, watching a football match, scrolling through social media, or window-shopping – all involve quickly scanning complex visual scenes using rapid eye movements called “saccades.” ... -
When challenges dictate choices: Environmental risks alter lizard foraging and nutritional ecology
Foraging is an indispensable task for all animals, providing energy for all fitness-relative activities. While foraging is often viewed as maximizing food intakes while minimizing time and energy costs, this food-centric ... -
Investigations on the enzyme transfructosidase and the structure of the fructosan Crinum Longifolium

Influnce of Vitamin B12 On the nutritive value of soyabean protein
Of the various nutrient factors that go to provide better health through letter nutrition, dietary protein is perhaps the most important and requires careful consideration. There is hardly any physiological function that ... -
Study on the interaction of proteins and carbohydrates and its bearing on the nurtitive value
Synopsis of the thesis entitled “Studies on the Interaction of Proteins and Carbohydrates and Its Bearing on the Nutritive Value” submitted by Mr. P. B. Bamino, B.Sc. (Hons), for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the ... -
Production of aromatic alcohols and hydroxy acids by candida species and the mode of action of aromatic alcohols
The thesis entitled “Alcohols and Hydroxy Acids by Candida Species and Their Mode of Action”, submitted by Mr. T. K. Narayanan for the Ph.D. degree of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore–560012, India. Yeasts, in ... -
Cyclic peptide disulfides as conformational models; synthesis and spectroscopic studies
The study of small peptides has been motivated both by the high biological activity manifested by many peptides and their potential use as model systems for understanding polypeptide and protein structure. The development ... -
conformational studies on hydrogen bonded cyclic hexapeptides
In the first place, the uniqueness of any MEC within a certain region demonstrates the successful incorporation of the hydrogen?bond energy function in a minimization program. In particular, its interpolation with the ... -
CONFORMATION OF POLYNUCLEOTIDES
The conformations of the five?membered rings and other relevant conformational features of deoxyribose, ribose, and arabinose have been analysed in this chapter and in the preceding two chapters. The analysis included ... -
X-ray crystallographic studies on the structure and interactions of L-ascorbic acids
It is well known that non?covalent interactions endow biological systems with extreme subtlety and complexity. In fact, the structure and assembly of proteins, and the dynamical processes involved in their action, are ... -
Spectroscopic studies on two biological amphiphiles: melittin and Birlirubin.
This thesis describes spectroscopic studies on two interesting biological amphiphiles, melittin and bilirubin. The former is a 26?residue polypeptide which comprises ~50% of the dry venom of honeybees. Melittin is cytotoxic ... -
Compact alwin grammar and algorithms for computer coding of organic chemical structures

Distinct Drivers of Type 2 Diabetes: A Systems Modeling Approach to Molecular, Genetic, and Metagenomic Insights
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a complex and heterogeneous disease characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and impaired insulin secretion. While often interrelated, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance represent ...
