Homologous recombination (HR) plays an essential role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), replication stress responses, and genome maintenance. Although the mechanism of HR has been extensively studied in the ...

This thesis delves into four separate research works related to Integrative multiscale modeling and simulations of biomolecules. The first work deals with the puzzling case of the Pleckstrin Homology Domain (PHD), which ...

Investigating the role of DUSP14 and Rab7A in endo-lysosomal trafficking in mammalian cells Eukaryotic cells maintain homeostasis and interact with their environment through intricate metabolic processes, including the ...

γ-Hemolysin (γ-HL) is a quintessential bicomponent β-pore forming toxin (β-PFT) belonging to the arsenal of “superbug” Staphylococcus aureus. Here, we performed negative staining-TEM and single particle cryo-EM-based ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), a pathogenic bacterium, thrives and proliferates inside host macrophages, encountering a high level of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen intermediates which is generated by the ...

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium. It infects a broad range of hosts, causing symptoms such as gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, inflammatory diarrhoea ...

Plasmodium sp. is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite causing malaria and is responsible for more than 500,000 human deaths annually. P. falciparum and P. vivax are the two major species causing malaria in humans. ...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India and worldwide. It is a highly heterogeneous disease caused by several genetic and epigenetic alterations in mammary epithelial cells. Both inter- and intra-patient ...

Substrate interrogation of the CRISPR-Cas12a endonuclease reveals an unexpected functional plasticity Currently, Cas9 and Cas12a (also known as Cpf1) are the sole members of a large family of RNA-guided nucleases that ...

Skeletal muscle is one of the essential organs in our body, responsible for various functions such as locomotion, transport, protein storage, and thermoregulation. Under certain pathological conditions, there is a reduction ...
