Traditional topics such as physics, chemistry and mathematics have immensely changed the world in the twentieth century, but the twenty-first century seems to be that of soft condensed matter physics, which has already ...

Controlling conformation of macromolecules, both in solution and solid state, has remained an exciting challenge till date as it confronts the entropy driven random coil conformation. Folded forms of biomacromolecules, ...

The goal of this thesis has been to throw light on a selection of open problems in chemical and biological physics using the general principles of statistical mechanics. These problems are all broadly concerned with the ...

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. ...
