Evaluating aerodynamic noise from aircraft engines is a design stage process, so that it conform to regulations at airports. Aerodynamic noise is also a principal source of structural vibration and internal noise in ...

Membrane proteins roughly constitute 30% of open reading frames in a genome and form 70% of current drug targets. They are classified as integral, peripheral membrane proteins and polypeptide toxins. α-helices and β -strands ...

Cerebral ischemia is a highly debilitating condition where shortage of oxygen and glucose leads to profuse cell death. Insufficient blood supply to the brain leads to cerebral ischemia and increase in extracellular lactate ...

Local field potentials (LFPs), extracellular potentials that reflect localized electrical activity, have long been used as a window to understand the behavioural dependence and mechanistic aspects of brain physiology. A ...

The DNA binding proteins under starvation (Dps) from M. smegmatis are cage-like structures which internalize iron and bind DNA. They provide resistance to the cells from free radical damage, and physically protect the DNA ...

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is concerned with further structural and related studies of jacalin, one of the two lectins found in jack fruit seeds. The second part deals with the search of mycobacterial ...

The genus Mycobacterium comprises some of the most devastating pathogens that infect humans. Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes tuberculosis in humans leading to high morbidity and mortality. The disease is especially ...

Occasionally, crystallisation of proteins works in mysterious ways! One might obtain crystals of a protein of unknown identity in place of the protein for which crystallisation experiments were performed. If the investigator ...

Structuraj investigations on the Ddi1 (DNA-damage inducible protein 1) of Leishmania major and on the rotavirus nonstructural protein NSP4 were carried out. Ddi1 belongs to the ubiquitin receptor family of proteins. One ...

Protein synthesis is a process by which organisms manufacture their proteins that perform various cellular activities either alone or in combination with other similar or different molecules. In eubacteria, protein synthesis ...
