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 ... -
Structure-Function Studies On Triosephoshate Isomerase From Plasmodium falciparum And Methanocaldococcus jannaschii
(2010-08-16)This thesis describes studies directed towards understanding structure-function relationships of triosephosphate isomerase (TIM), from a protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum and a thermophilic archaea Methanocaldococcus ... -
Studies On Heat Shock Protein 60 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2010-09-14)Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodia. Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the fatal form of human malaria. Spread of drug resistant parasites warrants for sound biological ... -
Studies On Saccharomyces Cerevisiae RNA Polymerase II Subunit Rpb7 And Its Eukaryotic Orthologs
(2010-06-03)Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent experimental model organism to study various biological processes owing to its versatile genetics, biochemistry, and standard laboratory conditions. S. cerevisiae shows distinct ... -
Survival Strategies Of SALMONELLA
(2010-08-25)The genus Salmonella includes facultative intracellular pathogens. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) causes typhoid fever in humans killing about 2,00,000 people globally every year. Salmonella enterica serovars ... -
Translational Control Of p53 And Its Isoform By Internal Initiation
(2010-07-19)Tumor suppressor p53, the guardian of the genome, has been intensely studied molecule owing to its central role in maintaining cellular integrity. While the level of p53 protein is maintained low in unstressed conditions, ... -
Unusual Acylation Properties Of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Acyl Carrier Proteins
(2010-07-06)This thesis entitled ‘ Unusual Acylation Properties of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Acyl Carrier Proteins’ describes the discovery of self-acylation and malonyl transferase activity in acyl carrier proteins involved in ...
