Protein Engineering and Stabilization of HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein
(2018-05-09)A number of viral diseases such as Hepatitis B, small pox, measles, rubella and polio have effective vaccines to control or eradicate them. HIV-1 is a lentivirus which infects human immune cells and leads to the disease ... -
Protein Engineering of HIV-1 Env and Human CD4
(2018-05-01)Since, its discovery over three decades ago, HIV has wrecked havoc worldwide. According to the UNAIDS report 2011, at present 34 million people is living with HIV and AIDS vaccine with broadly neutralizing activity still ... -
Protein folding and Disulphide rich peptide(s) folds
Protein folding and protein folds are two sides of a coin. The study of protein folding processes is crucial for advancing our knowledge in fundamental cellular processes while the study of protein folds is important for ... -
Protein NMR Studies of E. Coli IlvN and the Protease-VPg Polyprotein from Sesbania Mosaic Virus
(2018-04-03)Acetohydroxyacid synthase is a multisubunit enzyme that catalyses the first committed step in the biosynthesis of the branched chain amino acids viz., valine, leucine and isoleucine. In order to understand the structural ... -
Protein Structure and Mutant Phenotype Prediction from Analysis of Mutant Libraries by Deep Sequencing
Proteins play a central role in all the biological processes. The immense diversity in protein structures and functions despite similar underlying composition is intriguing. The work presented in this thesis aims to provide ... -
Protein-DNA Graphs And Interaction Energy Based Protein Structure Networks
(2013-01-29)Proteins orchestrate a number of cellular processes either alone or in concert with other biomolecules like nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. They exhibit an intrinsic ability to fold de novo to their functional ... -
Protein-small molecule interactions: Structural insights and applications in computational drug discovery
Deviation from normal healthy conditions, termed as disease, can often be triggered due to the malfunctioning of proteins. Modulating the functions of proteins by administering therapeutic agents (drugs) may alleviate the ... -
Proteomic Approaches to Study Glioma Development, Progression and Therapy
(2018-04-02)Astrocytoma, the tumor of astrocytic origin, accounts for about 60 % of the primary brain tumors. As per World Health Organization grading system, astrocytoma is classified as circumscribed astrocytoma (Grade I; pilocytic ... -
Proteomics-based Identification of Serum Biomarkers : Role of Secreted MCSF and CRP in Glioma Pathogenesis
Gliomas are the neoplasia of glial cells present in the brain and comprises of more than 70% of all the neoplasms of the central nervous system. They consist of a family of primary brain tumors that are categorized based ... -
PSD95 as a biophysical modulator of synaptic communication
PSD95 is a core scaffold protein of the postsynaptic density (PSD) at excitatory synapses and a member of the MAGUK family, where it plays a central role in organizing glutamate receptors, ion channels, and signalling ... -
Pseudo-periodic oscillatory dependence of rat brain voltage gated sodium channel properties on prior depolarization, studied using whole cell patch clamp, wavelet analysis and single neuron simulation
Neuronal excitability is mediated by ion-selective transmembrane ion channels, through which ions are transported in response to changes in membrane potential. In particular, the rising phase of the action potential is ... -
Purification , active site interactions and partial primary structure of serine hydroxymethyltransferase from seedlings of trigonella foenum graecum
SHMT catalyzes the conversion of Ser to Gly by the transfer of a hydroxymethyl group to H?-folate to yield 5,10-CH?-H?-folate. This compound serves as a carrier of one-carbon units for the biosynthesis of a number of ... -
