Identification Of Domains Of The Follicle Stimulating Hormone Receptor Involved In Hormone Binding And Signal Transduction
(2010-10-08)
The glycoprotein hormones, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are heterodimeric proteins with an identical α-subunit ...
Aromatic Beta-Glucoside Utilization In Shigella Sonnei : Comparison With The Escherichia Coli Paradigm
(2010-12-01)
The aromatic beta-glucosides of plant origin, salicin and arbutin, serve as carbon sources for the sustenance of bacteria when ‘preferred’ sugars are absent in the environment. In the family Enterobacteriaceae, there are ...
Solution NMR Studies Of Peptide Toxins From Cone Snails And Scorpion
(2010-09-13)
Major constituents of the venom of various animals are peptidogenic in nature. Marine snails belonging to the species Conus are venomous predators that use small, structurally constrained peptides present in their venom ...
Starvation Response In Mycobacterium Smegmatis : A Tale Of Two Proteins
(2010-10-19)
The Dps (DNA-Binding Protein from Starved Cells) proteins are a class of stress-specific proteins with a major role in protecting DNA during the stationary phase of bacterial growth, through direct physical binding as well ...
Structural And Functional Analysis Of Proteins With The Double Stranded β-helix (Cupin) Domains
(2010-12-24)
Proteins performing catalytic roles predominantly occur in a few protein folds. Functional diversity within a common structural scaffold has been attributed to conformational features that enable exploration of reaction ...
Solution NMR Studies Of E.Coli Acetohydroxy Acid Synthase (AHAS) I
(2010-04-13)
Branched chain amino acids are classified as essential amino acids since their biosynthetic routes or pathways are restricted only to micro-organisms, fungi and plants. Given their unique distribution, the enzymes of the ...
Unusual Acylation Properties Of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Acyl Carrier Proteins
(2010-07-06)
This thesis entitled ‘ Unusual Acylation Properties of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Acyl Carrier Proteins’ describes the discovery of self-acylation and malonyl transferase activity in acyl carrier proteins involved in ...
Orienting Macromolecule At The Air - Water Interface : DNA-Protein Interaction On Langmuir Films
(2010-07-23)
The Langmuir – Blodgett (LB) technique is about forming insoluble monolayer on the surface of aqueous solution and recently, it has emerged as one of the best method to study floating monolayer at the air – water interface. ...
Unique Features Of Heme-Biosynthetic Pathway In The Human Malaria Parasite, Plasmodium Falciparum
(2010-12-29)
Malaria is a life-threatening vector borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. More than 100 species of Plasmodium can infect numerous animal species such as reptiles, birds and various ...
Studies On Heat Shock Protein 60 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2010-09-14)
Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodia. Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the fatal form of human malaria. Spread of drug resistant parasites warrants for sound biological ...
