gp120 Immunogen Design And Characterization
(2011-10-21)HIV-1 is the causative agent for AIDS and has been a major focus of research for the past two decades. Though there is a combination therapy in place known as the “Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy” (HAART), its ... -
Ground-dwelling arthropods across human land use: Interpreting the spatial and temporal dimensions of beta diversity
This study investigates beta diversity and its partitions to quantify the influence of different processes that drive spatial and temporal variation in ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages. First, ant assemblages across ... -
Guanylyl cyclase C receptor : Regulation by protein kinase C
Guanylyl cyclases are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of magnesium-bound GTP to cGMP. Cyclic GMP then acts as a second messenger to a variety of exogenous and endogenous ligands. Guanylyl cyclases are of two types: ... -
Guanylyl Cyclase C Regulation And Pathophysiology
(2015-02-26)The survival of the any living organism depends on its availability to communicate, and a breakdown of cellular signaling can have dire consequences such as uncontrolled cellular proliferations or even cell death. Environmental ... -
H2A, H2B and H4 histone genes of rice embroys
A knowledge of the organization of histone genes in plants is a prerequisite for a greater insight into the regulation of their gene expression during germination. With the idea of obtaining much-needed information on the ... -
Habitat Acoustics And Microhabitat Selection In An Ensiferan Assemblage Of A Tropical Evergreen Forest │
(2013-08-29)Several animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, communicate using sound and they do so in a non-ideal medium, the habitat in which they live. As acoustic signals pass through the habitat, they suffer loss of information ... -
Heat Shock Protein 70 Of Plasmodium Falciparum: Proteomic Analysis Of Its Complexes And Cellular Functions
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Hest shock protein 70 (Hsp70) class of chaperones is highly conserved and present ubiquitously in all cellular organisms They play important role in folding of nascent polypeptides and translocation of precursor proteins ... -
Helicobacter Pylori Restriction-Modification Systems : Possible Roles Beyond Genome Protection
(2013-06-06)Helicobacter pylori is one of the most potential and successful human pathogen which colonizes atleast 50% of world population. One of the important characteristics of this pathogen is the degree of allelic diversity and ... -
Heterogeneous host-pathogen interactions contribute to antibiotic tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Eradication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) requires strategies targeting bacteria inside the host. Mtb exhibits heterogeneity in redox metabolism inside macrophages to evade killing by anti-TB drugs. If and how ... -
HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 immunogen design
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) is the aetiologic agent of AIDS. Presently there are ~38 million HIV-1 infected individuals worldwide and ~1 million deaths in 2019. Since its discovery, the quest for vaccine candidate ... -
HIV-1 Immunogen Design : Envelope Protein Minimization, Stabilization and Glycan Removal
Effective vaccines exist for a number of viral diseases. However, despite much effort, there is no successful vaccine against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1). The envelope glycoprotein (Env) of HIV-1 gp120, the ... -
Homeostasis of cyclic-di-AMP in Mycobacterium smegmatis: Functional and structural contributions of c-di-AMP synthase (MsDisA) and hydrolase (MsPDE)
In bacteria, cyclic-di-nucleotide based second messengers regulate various physiological processes including the stress response. For the past decades, cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) has emerged as a crucial ... -
Hominini-specific regulation of cell cycle by stop codon readthrough of FEM1B
In certain mRNAs ribosomes continue translation beyond the canonical stop codon to generate longer isoform with a C-terminal extension. This phenomenon is termed stop codon readthrough (SCR). Previously, a genome-wide ... -
Hormones and Cuscuta Development Abscisic Acid And Its Conjugates-Endogenous Levels And Metabolism During Growth And Haustoria Formation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)Cuscuta or dodder is one of the best known higher plant parasite with around 158 species over 5 continents parasitising a wide variety of host plants (Yuncker,1932) Dodders are characterised by their interesting parasitic ...
