Metal Ion Mediated Riboswitch Folding and Cognate Ligand Sensing
Riboswitches are noncoding RNA molecules that can control gene expression upon cognate ligand binding. Riboswitches are primarily present in bacteria and are crucial for bacteria's survival, which makes riboswitches ...
Computational Modeling of two Dimensional Heterostructures for Optoelectronic and Catalytic Applications
Two-dimensional van der Waals (2D-vdW) materials have attracted significant attention for their unique and excellent properties. The properties of the 2D-vdW materials can be precisely engineered using various techniques ...
Accelerated Search of Catalysts Using Density Functional Theory and Machine Learning
The need for clean and renewable energy resources has propelled the interest in designing new catalysts producing energy from renewable resources and alternate cleaner fuels such as hydrogen, methane, ammonia, ethylene, ...
Electron Microscopy Investigations on Solution Grown Stannous Oxide Nanosheets
In this thesis, motivated by the possibility of studying rich scientific phenomena using morphology controlled single crystals, experimental observation of new features in the growth and structure of layered oxide materials ...
Local Structural Investigations of Composition-driven Changes in Inorganic Solid Solutions
A smaller sized dopant replacing a larger sized element in a compound creates chemical pressure, resulting in a contraction of the lattice parameter and likewise a “negative” pressure is created by substitution of larger ...
Insights into Structure-Property Relationships via First Principles and Machine Learning Approaches
The increasing concerns about a sustainable future demand accelerated design and development of new materials with enhanced properties. The process of material development immensely depends on the structure-to-property ...
Alluaudite Battery Chemistry: Design and Exploration
Being one of the most promising technologies in human history, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have empowered our lives since their commercialization in 1991 by SONY®. However, all these applications need massive production ...
Designing Metallo-Supramolecular Assemblies for Biomimetic Catalysis and Environmental Sustainability
Molecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and plays a vital role in the emergence and maintenance of life. For example, DNA strands self-assemble into a double helix that stores genetic information. Likewise, ...
