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. ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -

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, ... -
Studies on the metabolism of aminophenols
Certain o-aminophenols like 3-hydroxykynurenine and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid are known to be precursors of nicotinic acid as well as of certain phenoxazinone antibiotics and insect pigments. The metabolism of 3-hydroxyanthranilic ... -
Studies on the action of nbromsuccinimide on Hemoglobin and lysozyne
The above detailed account of the role of various groups in enzyme function amply illustrates the approaches to the study of the structural basis of enzyme action. One particular fact emerges out of the present account. ... -
Studies on the amino-acid composition and nutritive value of some Indian food stuffs
The thesis entitled “Studies on the Amino Acid Composition and Nutritive Value of Some Indian Foodstuffs” presents the following pieces of research work carried out by the candidate: Standardisation of the microbiological ... -
Metabolism of naphthalene and methylnaphthalenes in Pseudomonas putida : Elucidation of catabolic pathways and purification and properties of 1,2-Dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase
I. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which include naphthalene and alkyl-substituted naphthalenes, are universal products of combustion of organic matter. The mutagenic and carcinogenic nature of several PAHs makes ...
