Folding Studies On Peanut Agglutinin : A Lectin With An Unusual Quaternary Structure
(2009-03-04)The thesis entitled “Folding studies on Peanut Agglutinin: A lectin with an unusual quaternary structure” deals with the several aspects of the folding of the tetrameric legume lectin Peanut Agglutinin ... -
For Queen and Country : Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Division of Labour in the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Cyathiformis
(2018-07-05)Division of labour is a hallmark of eusocial insects and is believed to be a major factor in their evolutionary success and ecological dominance. Division of labour can be of two kinds – reproductive division of labour ... -
Foraging Decisions of the Lesser False Vampire Bat, Megaderma Spasma in a Heterogeneous Landscape
Predators make various foraging decisions at different spatial and temporal scales. Such decisions can be studied at two levels: patch decisions at the landscape level, and prey decisions at the foraging patch level. In ... -
From Transformation to Therapeutics : Diverse Biological Applications of Shock Waves
(2018-02-26)Chapter–I Introduction Shock waves appear in nature whenever the different elements in a fluid approach one another with a velocity larger than the local speed of sound. Shock waves are essentially non-linear waves that ... -

Functional Analysis Of DdRpb4 And DdRpb7, Two Subunits Of Dictyostelium Discoideum RNA Polymerase II
(2010-04-06)The process of eukaryotic transcription and its regulation has been an interesting area of research for decades. With more insights into the process of transcriptional regulation of genes, studies have revealed a ... -
Functional Analysis Of Primary Microcephaly Gene Product ASPM
(2013-06-20)Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is defined by congenital microcephaly and associated mental retardation with head circumference of the affected individual at least 3 standard deviations below age- and ... -
Functional analysis of RPB4 and RPB7 subunits of RNA polymerase II in saccharomyces cerevisiae
Eukaryotic RNA Polymerases: Roles of RPB4 and RPB7 Subunits in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Eukaryotic RNA polymerases are complex multi-subunit enzymes that play a key role in regulating gene expression in response to both ... -
Functional Analysis Of Unique Motifs In Dimeric EcoP151 DNA Methyltransferase
(2011-01-11)Restriction endonucleases occur ubiquitously among bacteria, archaea and in viruses of certain unicellular algae, and they are usually accompanied by a modification enzyme of identical specificity; together, the two ... -
Functional and structural studies of proteins involved in telomere maintenance
The linear ends of the eukaryotic chromosomes are protected by a specialized nucleoprotein complex known as telomere. Telomeres consist of telomere DNA and telomere DNA binding proteins (known as shelterin complex). The ... -
Functional characterisation of splicing factor Slu7 in Cryptococcus neoformans – roles in cell cycle, constitutive and alternate splicing
Fungal genomes, including in pathogenic yeasts like Cryptococcus neoformans (Cnn) and Candida albicans are rich with short introns. 99% of Cryptococcus neoformans genes have introns with an average of 5 introns per gene ... -
Functional Characterization And Regulation Of UvrD Helicases From Haemophilus Influenzae And Helicobacter Pylori, And Recj Exonuclease Fron Haemophilus Influenzae
(2013-04-01)DNA repair processes are crucial for mutation avoidance and the maintenance of genetic integrity in all organisms. Organisms rely on repair processes to combat genotoxic stress imposed by hostile host environment, and ... -
Functional characterization of a new enzymatic activity of the ‘miRNase’-XRN-2 from Caenorhabditis elegans.
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules play a central role in every pivotal process in the cell, and ribonucleases (RNases) are critical for their biogenesis, processing, and degradation. Therefore, RNases are indispensable for ... -
Functional Characterization of a SAND–Domain–containing Factor OsULTRAPETALA1 – a Direct Downstream Target of OsMADS1
Studies on meristem identity regulators in Rice (Oryza sativa), a model plant for cereal crops have revealed how meristem identity and transitions are controlled, bearing implications for crop yield improvement. We were ... -
Functional Characterization of C4 Protien of Cotton Leaf Curl Kokhran Virus - Dabawali
(2018-03-07)1) Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses which contain circular single stranded DNA molecules as their genomes and the capsid consists of two icosahedra fused together to form twinned or geminate particles. The largest ... -
Functional Characterization of CG9650 in development of the Indirect Flight Muscles of Drosophila melanogaster
Muscle development is a complex and multifactorial process involving assembly of thousands of proteins in a precise and synchronized manner over the course of development of an organism. Multiple genes and signalling ... -
Functional characterization of heat shock proteins 40 from plasmodium falciparum
Molecular chaperones are ubiquitous proteins that assist in the folding and unfolding or assembly and disassembly of other proteins or protein complexes. One of the first experiments that led to the discovery of these ... -
Functional characterization of PepN, an aminoendopeptidase in escherichia coli, and its implications in cytosolic protein degradation
Functional Characterization of PepN, an Aminoendopeptidase in Escherichia coli, and Its Implications in Cytosolic Protein Degradation Steady-state levels of cellular proteins are maintained by a balance between their rates ... -
