Mechanistic And Regulatory Aspects Of The Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Dephosphocoenzyme A Kinase
(2013-09-11)
The current, grim world-TB scenario, with TB being the single largest infectious disease
killer, warrants a more effective approach to tackle the deadly pathogen, Mycobacterium
tuberculosis. The deadly synergy of this ...
Structure Analysis Of Plant Lectin Domains
(2014-04-07)
Lectins are multivalent carbohydrate binding proteins that specifically recognise diverse sugar structures and mediate a variety of biological processes, such as cell-cell and host-pathogen interactions, serum glycoprotein ...
Structural Studies Of E. Coli Thioredoxin And P. Falciparum Triosephosphate Isomerase By NMR And Computational Methods
(2014-05-21)
To unravel the mysteries of complex biological processes carried out by biomolecules it is necessary to adopt a multifaceted approach, which involves employing a wide variety of tools both computational and experimental. ...
Exploring The Role Of The Highly Conserved Residues In Triosephosphate Isomerase
(2014-08-11)
This thesis discusses the structure-function studies on triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) from Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), directed towards understanding the roles of highly conserved residues by site derected mutagenesis. ...
Studies on Molecular Targets and Pathways Regulated by Rice RFL for Flowering Transition and Panicle Development
(2017-11-28)
LFY of Arabidopsis is a member of a unique plant specific transcription factor family. It is involved in giving meristem a determinate floral fate by the activation of floral organ identity genes and preventing inflorescence ...
Functionally Interacting Proteins : Analyses And Prediction
(2016-05-04)
Functional interaction of proteins is a broad term encompassing many different types of associations that are observed amongst proteins. It includes direct non-covalent interactions where the interacting proteins physically ...
Expanding The Horizon Of Mycobacterial Stress Response : Discovery Of A Second (P)PPGPP Synthetase In Mycobacterium Smegmatis
(2015-12-21)
The stringent response is a highly conserved physiological response mounted by bacteria under stress (Ojha and Chatterji, 2001; Magnusson et al., 2005; Srivatsan and Wang, 2007; Potrykus and Cashel, 2008). Until recently, ...
Targeting The CD4 Biniding Site In HIV-1 Immunogen Design
(2016-11-15)
Over three decades have passed since the discovery of HIV-1, yet an AIDS vaccine remains elusive. The envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1 gp120, is the most exposed protein on the viral surface and thus serves as an important ...
Structural Studies On Enzymes From Salmonella Typhimurium Involved In Propionate Metabolism: Biodegradative Threonine Deaminase, Propionate Kinase And 2-Methylisocitrate Lyase
(2007-11-23)
I formally joined Prof. M. R. N. Murthy’s laboratory at the Molecular Biophysics
Unit, Indian institute of Science, on 1st August 2001. During that time, the interest in the laboratory was mainly focused on structural ...
Structural Studies On Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate Dependent Enzymes Involved In D-Amino Acid Metabolism And Acid Tolerance Reponse
(2015-08-19)
Metabolism of D-amino acids is of considerable interest due to their key importance in cellular functions. The enzymes D-serine dehydratase (DSD) and D-cysteine desulfhydrase (DCyD) are involved in the degradation of D-Ser ...
