Venomics of Medically Important yet Neglected Elapid Snakes of India and the Antivenomic Potential of Plant Extracts
India is considered the world's snakebite capital, where over 58,000 snakebite fatalities are registered annually. Most bites are primarily attributed to four snake species: the spectacled cobra (Naja naja), common krait ... -
Virus-Inducible Gene Expression Changes In Mouse Brain : Studies With Japanese Encephalitis & Rabies Viruses
(2009-04-16)One of the key events in a virus-infected host cell is the activation and repression of a large number of host genes. In recent years, such differentially expressed host genes have been identified for several viruses, ... -
When challenges dictate choices: Environmental risks alter lizard foraging and nutritional ecology
Foraging is an indispensable task for all animals, providing energy for all fitness-relative activities. While foraging is often viewed as maximizing food intakes while minimizing time and energy costs, this food-centric ... -
Wnt/β-Catenin-dependent Epigenetic Factors Shape Host Immune Responses During Mycobacterial Infection
The genus mycobacterium has more than 120 species of bacteria; one being M. tuberculosis (Mtb), the etiological agent of tuberculosis (TB). During infection, the host mounts a heightened immune response to contain the ... -
X-ray crystallagraphic studies on the effect of chirality in amino acids aggregation
A programme of systematic X-ray studies on crystalline complexes involving amino acids and peptides is currently under way in this laboratory. These studies, apart from providing a wealth of information on non-covalent ... -
X-ray crystallographic studies of amino acid-carboxylic acid complexes
The structure, assembly and action of proteins critically depend upon non?covalent interactions. A programme aimed at elucidating the atomic details of such interactions using an approach involving the preparation and X?ray ... -
X-ray Crystallographic studies on some helical peptides containing alpha-aminoisobutyric acid
Abstract not available -
X-ray crystallographic studies on the structure and interactions of L-ascorbic acids
It is well known that non?covalent interactions endow biological systems with extreme subtlety and complexity. In fact, the structure and assembly of proteins, and the dynamical processes involved in their action, are ... -
X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY OF SOME ANALGETIC PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES AND FENAMATES
This thesis reports the crystal structure investigations carried out by the author on five non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, antipyretic analgesic drugs as part of an ongoing programme in this laboratory. Two of these drugs ... -
X-ray differaction studies on belladonna mottle virus at 3.8 A resolution
Tymoviruses are a group of highly infectious plant viruses found in several geographical locations. The type member of this group of viruses, turnip yellow mosaic virus, has been studied in detail regarding its architecture, ... -
X-ray diffraction and theoretical studies on DNA and ligand-DNA interaction.

X-ray studies on some proline containing peptides
The imino acid proline plays a crucial role in determining the conformation of proteins, peptides, and peptide antibiotics. Understanding the intrinsic propensities of prolyl residues to assume different characteristic ... -
Xenopus Laevis TGF-ß: Cloning And Characterization Of The Signaling Receptors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-21)The amphibian species Xenopus laevis, along with mouse and chicken is a very important model system, used widely to dissect the molecular intricacies of various aspects of vertebrate development. Study with Xenopus has ...
