Saccharomyces cerevisiae HOP1, which encodes a component of the synaptonemal complex, plays an important role in both gene conversion and crossing over between homologs, as well as enforces the meiotic recombination ...

The two first enzymes in the pathway for the metabolism of mandelic acid by Aspergillus niger, namely D(-)-mandelate oxidase and L(+)-mandelate oxidase, which respectively catalyze the oxidation of the two enantiomers of ...

Stop codon readthrough is the process in which translation continues beyond a stop codon till a downstream, in-frame stop codon generating a polypeptide with a C-terminal extension. MTCH2 was selected as a potential ...

H. pylori has a panmictic population structure due to high genetic diversity. The homoplasy index for H. pylori is 0.85 (where 0 represents a completely clonal organism and 1.0 indicates a freely recombining organism) which ...

A number of studies have established that DNA targeting is a successful strategy in anticancer therapy. In recent years, however, the focus has shifted from double-stranded DNA to alternative DNA motifs such as G-quadruplex ...

The present thesis deals with structural investigations of the initial products formed during acid denaturation of ribonuclease A. We have divided our observations into two sections. Section I The nature of the deamidation ...

Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of cancer has been unraveled to a great extend, cancer continues to remain a leading cause of death around the world. Clinical efficacy of the existing ...

Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division essential for the production of four normal haploid gametes. In early prophase I of meiosis, the intimate synapsis between homologous chromosomes, and the formation of chiasmata, ...
