Co-solvent Induced Protein Collapse and Folding
An unfolded protein under favorable conditions navigates its complex energy landscape on a time scale of milliseconds to seconds and folds into a specific three dimensional structure. The mechanism of protein folding is ... -
An Exploration of Molecular Recognition Mechanisms and Ligand Induced Transitions in Biomolecules
Molecular recognition refers to processes through which biological macromolecules interact with each other or other small molecules through noncovalent interactions to form specific complexes. Applying molecular recognition ... -
Investigating the Role of Domain Swapping in Aggregation of Globular Proteins
The broad objective of this thesis involves computationally modeling protein aggregation with special emphasis on the role of cosolvents and misfolded states. Chapter 1 contrasts the effect of biologically relevant co-solvents ... -
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 ... -
Protein Folding, Function and Aggregation Role of Co-solvents and Topological Frustration
Proteins are biological macromolecules formed by sequentially joining natural amino acids through peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein chain determines its three dimensional structure under physiological ... -
Transition in the Conformational Ensemble of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins: Implications for Phase Separation and Aggregation
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are enriched with charged and polar residues and lack a unique three-dimensional structure. Due to the high fraction of charged residues, IDPs are disordered and dynamic, transitioning ...
