Unraveling the layers of DNA with the DNA-PAINT brush
DNA is both the repository of genetic information and a versatile nanoscale material whose stability and function are governed by base pairing and base-stacking interactions. Despite their fundamental role in DNA structure, ... -
Studies on the roles of Lon protease and its substrates during antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli: modulatory effects of nitroaromatics and nitrofurantoin
Bacteria adapt to environmental stresses, including antibiotic stress, by regulating various genes and metabolic pathways. In prokaryotes, the energy-dependent protein degradation is controlled primarily by two ... -
Studies on thermo-resistant bacilli
A beginning was made in this country in the systematic study of spore‑forming bacteria capable of growing at 55°C. Ninety‑five odd isolates were obtained from sources such as soils, water from hot springs, air, dust, and ... -
Antifungal antibiotics by actinomycetes formation of champamycin - B By Streptomyces Champavatii
Presently, the chemotherapeutic treatment of the widely prevalent fungal infections in humans, animals and plants is far from satisfactory and is in marked contrast to that of bacterial diseases which are controlled successfully ... -
Understanding the physiological role of ITPK1-type inositol phosphate kinase in embryophytes
Land plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to phosphate (Pi) limitation, yet such regulatory networks in nonvascular bryophytes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that both male and female liverworts ... -
RNA granules and DNA damage: Exploring the role of posttranscriptional gene control upon genotoxic stress
Cells constantly encounter genotoxic stress arising from extrinsic environmental factors or intrinsic metabolic byproducts. In response, cells activate a robust DNA damage response (DDR) network to preserve genomic stability. ... -
Physico-chemical studies on hen's egg yolk lipovitellins and very low density lipoprotiens
The work described in this thesis can be broadly classified into two major sections namely, (1) Chemical studies, which describes the preparation of lipovitellins, fractionation of their protein components and comparison ... -
Studies on chemical modifications of enzymes with O-Benzoquinone. A new reaction of the Quinone with Methionine
The thesis deals mainly with studies on a new reaction of o-benzoquinone with methionine. o-Benzoquinone is a highly reactive compound which takes part in many complex reactions with proteins. Some of the functional groups ... -
Studies on the metabolism of riboflavin nucleotide coenzymes in plants
A survey of literature indicates that although the occurrence of B-vitamins in higher plants is well known and also that several plant enzymes require the presence of these for their action, very little work has been carried ... -
Studies on vitamin carrier proteins: physicochemical and functional aspects
STUDIES ON VITAMIN CARRIER PROTEINS: PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS submitted by P.B. SESHAGIRI for the award of Ph.D. degree of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. Investigations detailed in this ... -
Studies on vitamin carrier protiens hormonal induction and modulation of ribflavin carrier protien and retinol
STUDIES ON VITAMIN CARRIER PROTEINS: HORMONAL INDUCTION AND MODULATION OF RIBOFLAVIN CARRIER PROTEIN AND RETINOL BINDING PROTEIN IN IMMATURE CHICKS submitted by B. Durga Kumari for the award of the degree of Doctor of ... -
Bacterial transformation of nitroaromatic compounds and its implicatins in detoxification
Nitroaromatic compounds form a major group of environmental pollutants because of their high toxicity, widespread use, and recalcitrance to microbial degradation. The studies incorporated in this thesis aimed at understanding ... -
Effect of 2-methyl-4-dimethly aminoazobenzene on mithchondrial function and turnover
Abstract not available -
Metabolism of phenolic acids in relation to the biosynthesis of ubiquinone and sterols

Physiological Significance of Stop Codon Readthrough
Regulation of translation, the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins from mRNAs, is critical to maintain cellular proteostasis. Dysregulation of translation is implicated in several neurodegenerative, metabolic, ...
