Design and Stabilization of Stem Derived Immunogens from HA of Influenza A Viruses
(2018-07-19)Influenza virus belongs to the Orthomyxovirus family of viruses that causes respiratory infection in humans, leading to morbidity and mortality. The mature influenza A virion has an envelope that contains two major surface ... -
Design of a thermostable pan-sarbecovirus vaccine
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a global health threat due to their potential for widespread transmission including in humans. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent responsible for ... -
Design of Immunogens Derived from the Conserved Stem of Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin
Influenza viruses can cause respiratory illnesses and are very contagious, leading to either pandemics or seasonal epidemics and resulting in significant mortality and morbidity rates. The main symptoms of the influenza ... -
Design of Influenza Immunogens by Hemagglutinin (HA) Protein Minimization
(2018-01-31)Influenza virus is a pleiomorphic human pathogen which causes self-limiting respiratory illness lasting one-two weeks in most individuals. However, in immunologically compromised individuals, influenza infection may lead ... -
Design of soluble and particulate immunogens derived from the stem of Influenza hemagglutinin
Influenza is a highly contagious virus, belonging to the family Orthomyxoviridae that causes acute febrile respiratory illness which can be fatal in some cases. The highest risk groups for influenza viral infection ... -
Design of viral entry inhibitors and vaccines
Full text Embargo upto 12/12/2026 Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains one of the most persistent global health threats, despite significant efforts in the development of vaccines and major strides in ... -
Design, Biophysical Characterization, and Serum Epitope Mapping of SARS-CoV-2 RBD Vaccine Immunogens
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been circulating in the human population for over four years. This has resulted in more than 770 million infections and ~7 million deaths to date. Multiple ... -
Design, Synthesis, and Bioactivity of Thioamidated Macrocyclic Peptides
The work presented in this thesis describes the comprehensive study related to thioamidated macrocyclic peptides. We study the underexplored class of peptide bond isostere; thioamides in the context of small macrocyclic ... -
Designed Synthetic Peptides : Models For Studies Of Conformational Transitions And Aromatic Interactions
(2015-07-17)This thesis set out to explore the conformational properties of short designed peptide sequences, in which transitions between structural states may be anticipated. The use of conformationally constrained residues like ... -
Designed β-Hairpin, β-Sheet And Mixed α-β Structures In Synthetic Peptides
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-16)Synthetic construction of protein molecules has been widely pursued over the last two decades. A primary goal behind de novo protein design has been to build minimal systems by capturing the essential features of protein ... -
Determinants Of Behavioural And Reproductive Dominance In The Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata
(2016-09-15)In societies where all individuals are reproductively totipotent and yet, at a given time only one of them reproduces, it is interesting to examine the factor(s) that may influence and predict who will be the reproductive. ... -
Determinants Of Globular Protein Stability And Temperature Sensitivity Inferred From Saturation Mutagenesis Of CcdB
(2011-02-25)The unique native structure is a basic requirement for normal functioning of most proteins. Many diseases stem from mutations in proteins that destabilize the protein structure thereby resulting in impairment or loss of ... -
Determinants of protein stability and function inferred from saturation mutagenesis and next-generation sequencing
Proteins play a central role in all biological processes. Despite a similar underlying composition, they exhibit immense diversity in structures and functions, a subject of great interest. The research presented in this ... -
Determination of significance of SUMOylation of the Smc5/6 complex
The fascination of scientists to the Smc5/6 complex began in the 1990s, with the characterization of UV and γ radiation-sensitive rad18 mutant and its identification as a component of a novel Structural Maintenance of ... -
Development and application of sequence-based approaches for recognition and functional characterization of protein kinases
Protein kinases, the third most populous protein family, are a major class of enzymes that regulate a wide range of cellular processes by phosphorylating multiple cellular proteins. There are many conserved sequence motifs ... -
Development And Applications Of Computational Methods To Aid Recognition Of Protein Functions And Interactions
(2011-10-03)Protein homology detection has played a central role in the understanding of evolution of protein structures, functions and interactions. Many of the developments in protein bioinformatics can be traced back to an initial ... -

Development and Characterization of a potent Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha blocking agent
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), one of the major pro-inflammatory cytokines, plays a pivotal role in an effective inflammation process and immune response. TNFα interacts with two different receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, which ... -
Development of 3D model and understanding translational regulation of breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India and worldwide. It is a highly heterogeneous disease caused by several genetic and epigenetic alterations in mammary epithelial cells. Both inter- and intra-patient ...
