Synthetic Antioxidants : Structure-Activity Correlation Studies Of Glutathione Peroxidase Mimics And Peroxynitrite Scavengers
(2011-01-11)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radical anion (O2•¯), hydroxylradical (OH•), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) that are produced during the metabolism of oxygen under oxidative stress in ...
Metallo-β-Lactamase, Phosphotriesterase And Their Functional Mimics
(2011-01-11)
Metallohydrolases with dinuclear-zinc active sites perform many important biological hydrolytic reactions on a variety of substrates. In this regard, metallo-β-lactamases (mβ1, class B) represent a unique subset of zine ...
Modelling Stochasticity In Selected Biological Processes
(2010-08-16)
Biological processes at the cellular level take place in heterogeneous environments, and usually involve only a small number of molecules. They tend to exhibit strong time dependent fluctuations, as a result, and are, ...
Reductive And Metathetic Coupling Reactions Mediated By Group (IV) Metal Alkoxides
(2010-10-19)
Several organic transformations are mediated by group(IV) metal alkoxides. The reactivity is based on the basic nature of alkoxide group, Lewis acidic nature of the group(IV) metals, insertion of unsaturated molecules into ...
Studies Of MnO2 As Active Material For Electrochemical Supercapacitors
(2010-11-02)
Electrical double-layer formed at the interface between an electrode and an electrolyte has been a topic of innumerable studies. The electrical interface plays a crucial role in kinetics, mechanisms and applications in ...
Theoretical Investigations Of Structure, Energy And Properties Of A Few Inorganic Compounds
(2010-08-11)
This thesis reports the theoretical investigations aimed at understanding the structure, stability and properties of a few inorganic compounds. The first chapter presents an introductory overview of the theories used to ...
Statistical Mechanical Models Of Some Condensed Phase Rate Processes
(2010-09-13)
In the thesis work we investigate four problems connected with dynamical processes in condensed medium, using different techniques of equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.
Biology is rich in dynamical ...
Probing The Origin Of Second Harmonic Generation From Copper Nanoparticles In Solution By Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering
(2010-08-09)
In recent years, coinage metal nanoparticles have emerged as materials with largest quadratic optical nonlinearity. Their first hyperpolarizabilities (β) are very high (105-106 x 10-30 esu) but such large values were quite ...
Microwave Spectroscopic and Atoms in Molecules Theoretical Investigations on Weakly Bound Complexes : From Hydrogen Bond to 'Carbon Bond'
(2018-05-01)
Weak intermolecular interactions have very strong impact on the structures and properties of life giving molecules like H2O, DNA, RNA etc. These interactions are responsible for many biological phenomena. The directional ...
Time Resolved Resonance Raman Spectroscopic Studies Of Heterocyclic Aromatic Systems
(2012-04-23)
Benzophenone (BP) and substituted BPs constitute a major class of aromatic ketones and are of potential interest in various areas of excited state solution phase photochemistry and photobiology. High triplet state energy, ...
