Computational mechanisms underlying eye-head coordination
Gaze or eye-head coordination is an ethologically and physiologically important process that directs the visual system to objects of interest. Due to its relative simplicity, it is an ideal system to study multi-effector ... -
Computational Mechanisms Underlying the Voluntary Control of Reach Movement Planning and Execution
In everyday life we make a variety of reaching movements. Most of these reaching movements have a clear objective of bringing the hand to the spatial location of the object of interest. Although we typically do not explicitly ... -
Computational studies on interacting proteins with special reference to toxin-antitoxin systems
Proteins interact with other proteins to maintain functional homeostasis of the cell by tightly regulating cellular processes. Hence, it becomes important to understand not only the downstream effects of protein-protein ... -
Computer Modeling and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Of Angiogenins And Its Ligand Bound Complexes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-05-04)Computational structural biology Even with rapid advances in structure determination methods, there is a long gap to be bridged between the number of proteins that have been sequenced and the number whose three-dimensional ... -
Computer modelling approach to study the mode of binding of flavins to flavodoxin
Abstract not available -
Computer Modelling Studies On DNA Triple Helices

Computer modelling studies on guanine-rich quadruplexes
On the basis of these MD studies, it can be concluded that parallel G-quadruplexes are very stable structures, both energetically as well as structurally. Base interaction energy within the G-tetrad, as well as guanine ... -
concanavalin A- Carbohydrate interactions: a computer modelling approach
Lectins are cell-agglutinating, carbohydrate-binding proteins. They began to generate interest when it was discovered in the 1940s that some of them were capable of specifically agglutinating human erythrocytes. Most lectins ... -
Condition-dependent signalling and mating behaviour in the tree cricket, Oecanthus henryi
Male reproductive success in systems exhibiting sexually selected traits can be driven by male mating effort in sexual signals and in the production of nuptial gifts. Male mating effort can be determined by various biotic ... -
Conformation of calcium antagonists and their interaction with model membranes
Calcium antagonists are a class of drugs with diverse chemical identities and a wide range of pharmacological activities. At least four different chemical classes can be identified within this group of drugs. This heterogeneity ... -
Conformation of peptidoglycan and mode of penicillin action
Penicillins and cephalosporins are conformationally similar to D-L-Ala-D-Ala due to the presence of the lactam ring. The mode of binding of the aminoacyl group of penicillin and cephalosporin with transpeptidase is 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 ... -
Conformational Analysis And Design Of Disulfides In Antiparallel β-Sheets And Helices
(2013-08-30)Disulfides are the primary covalent interactions within a protein molecule that connect residues which are sequentially distant. Naturally occurring disulfides enhance the stability of the protein by destabilization of ... -
Conformational analysis of cyclic peptides containing Cis peptide units
The dimensions of the cis peptide unit obtained as an average from the three sets of data viz., cyclic di-, higher, and tripeptides are summarized in Table 2.11. On a close examination of the Table, the following salient ... -
Conformational Analysis Of Designed Alpha-Omega Hybrid Peptides
(2011-10-21)The insertion of ω- amino acid residues as guests into host α-peptide sequences permits expansion of the range of polypeptide secondary structures. The term ω- amino acid is used to refer to the entire family of residues ... -
Conformational Analysis of Designed and Natural Peptides : Studies of Aromatic/Aromatic and Aromatic/Proline Interactions by NMR
(2018-04-05)This thesis describes NMR studies which probe weak interactions between amino acid side chains in folded peptide structures. Aromatic/aromatic interactions between facing phenylalanine residues have been probed in antiparallel ... -
Conformational and Dynamic Motifs in the Biomolecular Recognition of Glycan and Acetyl Functionalities
Biomolecular recognition is a fundamental principle underlying all cellular processes, driven by specific and tightly regulated interactions. This thesis explores the structural basis of recognition mechanisms in two ... -
Conformational Heterogeneity, Solution Structure and Autoregulatory Roles of the MazE9 Antitoxin from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The work presented in this thesis endeavors to decode the details of the dynamics of MazE9 antitoxin of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MazEF9 toxin-antitoxin system and the transcriptional autoregulation effected by it. ...
