Studies On Initiator tRNA Selection On The Ribosomes In Escherichia Coli
(2009-05-06)
The studies reported in this thesis address the aspects of initiator tRNA selection in Escherichia Coli. A summary of the relevant literature discussing the process of ptotein biosynthesis in general and initiator tRNA ...
Mechanism Of mom Gene Transactivation By Transcription Factor C Of Phage MU
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-04-26)
Regulation of transcription initiation is the major determining event employed by the cell to control gene expression and subsequent cellular processes. The weak promoters, with low basal transcription activities, are ...
The Prediction Of Field Cricket Phonotaxis In Complex Acoustic Environments
(2010-09-24)
Animals detect, recognize and localize relevant objects in noisy, multi-source environments. Female crickets locate potential mates in choruses of simultaneously calling males using acoustic signals, a behaviour termed ...
Response of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis to Rifampicin - A Cellular, Molecular, and Ultrastructural Study
(2018-02-15)
Tee PhD thesis presents the study of the response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, upon prolonged exposure to lethal concentrations of the first line anti-tuberculosis drug, rifampicin. ...
Regulation and Characterization of Transcription Factor Activator Protein-2 Alpha (AP-2α)
(2018-02-11)
Introduction
AP2α is a 52 kDa retinoic acid inducible and developmentally regulated activator of
transcription, which binds to the DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Transcription factor AP-2α was isolated from HeLa cells ...
The Biology Of Two Sexes : A Study Of The Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata
(2009-05-21)
A striking feature of hymenopterans societies is the absence of male workers. Foraging, nest building, brood care and all other activities required for the functioning of the colony are carried out by the females. These ...
Tree Diameter Growth : Variations And Demographic Niches In A Tropical Dry Forest Of Southern India
(2009-08-03)
Tree growth influences forest community dynamics and responses to environmental variations, but currently is not well understood. Tree growth in highly diverse wet tropical forests have been well studied and characterised ...
Molecular Ecology of the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata : Relatedness, Queen Succession and Population Genetics
(2018-06-08)
Altruism is defined as a trait in an individual that increases some other individual’s fitness at the expense of her own. Therefore, existence of such traits in a population is an evolutionary paradox, as natural selection ...
Stress Physiology of Free-ranging Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus) : Influence of Ecological and Anthropogenic Stressors
(2018-07-09)
Various ecological and human-induced disturbances play an important role in defining the health of an animal. To cope up with such threats or challenges to its homeostasis, an animal responds by secreting stress hormones ...
Investigating the Impact of Habitat Disturbance and the Role of Functional Traits in a Tropical Butterfly Assemblage
(2018-07-09)
Tropical habitats face a diverse range of anthropogenic threats. Two common and important threats to tropical biodiversity are invasive species and roads. Invasive plants are proposed to be a major threat to biodiversity ...
