The Role of Cytoskeletal Morphology in the Nanoorganization of Synapse
(2018-01-10)
Synapse is the fundamental unit of synaptic transmission. Learning, memory and neurodegenerative diseases of the brain are attributed to the maintenance and alteration in synaptic connections. The efficiency for synaptic ...
Structural and Functional Analysis of Proteins involved in Microbial Stress Tolerance and Virulence
(2018-08-11)
The genus Salmonella consists of pathogenic gram negative organisms which infect intestines of birds, animals and humans. They are the causative agents of salmonellosis which is characterised by diarrhoea, nausea, fever ...
Mechanisms of Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's Disease
(2018-07-18)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a debilitating movement disorder. The cardinal symptoms of PD are bradykinesia, resting tremors and rigidity. PD is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of A9 region, substantia ...
Mechanism of RAG Regulation During Its Physiological and Pathological Functions in Lymphoid Cells
(2018-08-11)
RAGs (Recombination Activating Genes) are responsible for generation of antigen receptor diversity in case of B-cells and T-cells, through the process of combinatorial joining of different V (variable), D (diversity) and ...
Computational Analyses of Protein Structure and Immunogen Design
(2018-08-20)
The sequence of a polypeptide chain determines its structure which in turns determines its function. A protein is stabilized by multiple forces; hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bond formation ...
Mechanistic Insights into the Role of IGFBP-2 in Glioblastoma
(2018-08-13)
Insulin like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs) 1 to 6 have important physiological functions of regulating half life and bioavailability of Insulin like Growth Factors (IGFs). Consequently, these have been known to ...
Understanding the SNARE Dynamics During Melanosome Biogenesis
(2018-08-11)
Melanosome biogenesis is a highly regulated endosomal maturation process wherein structural fibers harbouring immature melanosomes acquires its biosynthetic proteins through the secretory pathway and finally matures into ...
Role of VILAMBIT Genes Controlling Flowering Time and Jasmonic Acid Signaling in Arabidopsis
(2018-08-14)
The transition to flowering is an important decision for plants since seed-setting and the survival of the progeny depend on the environmental conditions prevalent during this transition. Therefore, to ensure maximum ...
Understanding the Mechanism of Homologous Recombination in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis : Exploring RecA as an Antibacterial Target and Characterization of Holliday Junction Resolvases
(2018-08-09)
Homologous recombination (HR) is conserved across all three domains of life and is associated with a number of key biological processes. Over the years, numerous genetic, biochemical and structural studies have uncovered ...
Chimeric Virus Like Particles as Nanocarriers for Antibody Delivery in Mammalian Cells & Role of Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus NSs in Viral Life Cycle
(2018-08-02)
Knowledge of the dissociation constants of the ionizable protons of weak acids in aqueous media is of fundamental importance in many areas of chemistry and biochemistry. The pKa value, or equilibrium dissociation constant, ...
