Thyroxine (T4), the main secretory hormone of the thyroid gland, is produced on thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase (TPO)/hydrogen peroxide/iodide system. The synthesis of T4 by TPO involves two independent steps: iodination ...

There is considerable current interest in the design and synthesis of new phosphorus ligands and their transition metal complexes in view of their potential applications in homogeneous catalysis. The present study is ...

This thesis presents our recent study of few interesting problems involving activated processes. This chapter gives an overview of the thesis. It is now possible to do single molecule experiments involving enzyme molecules. ...

In solution, the environment around the solute is determined solely by the solvent molecules, which are present closer to the solute. This interaction between solute and solvent shell is very crucial for equilibrium structure ...

Photo sensitizers showing visible light induced DNA cleavage activity are of current importance for medicinal applications related to photodynamic therapy (PTD) considering greater skin penetration of light near 700 nm. ...

Emissive conjugated polymers, namely PPV, PPP, polyfluorenes, etc, have gained considerable attention in recent times, specifically because of their potential application in the fields of PLED’s, displays, FET’s and ...

Nanostructured materials play a vital role in almost all aspects of science and technology in the 21st century. The materials include nanoparticles, nanofilms, biological membranes etc. whose physicochemical properties are ...
