Fidelity Of Translation Initiation In E. coli : Roles Of The Transcription-recycling Factor RapA, 23S rRNA Modifications, And Evolutionary Origin Of Initiator tRNA
(2016-09-15)Translation initiation is a rate limiting step during protein biosynthesis. Initiation occurs by formation of an initiation complex comprising 30S subunit of ribosome, mRNA, initiator tRNA, and initiation factors. The ... -
Insights into mRNA recruitment by eukaryotic initiation factor 4 during translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins in the cells by using mRNA as the template. However, the ribosomes cannot perform this function without the help of other protein factors. Different factors are required ... -
Structural insight into unique features of the Translational apparatus in Plants
Plants are constantly challenged with a variety of biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Being sessile, plants cannot evade these conditions. Most of these sudden changes in environmental conditions require a quick change ... -
Understanding structure, function, and dynamics in macromolecular complexes
In the scope of my thesis work, a concerted effort was undertaken to elucidate bi- ological functions through the lens of structural analysis, employing protein dy- namics. The role of protein dynamics in shaping and ...
