Insights into signalling and crosstalk in two-component signalling systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), has very recently reclaimed the position of the leading cause of deaths in humans from a single infection agent. This suggests a dire need to ... -
Effect of Single Residue Change on Conformational Dynamics of Proteins and Their Function: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Proteins undergo conformational transitions and exhibit specific motion while performing their function. A single residue change (addition, deletion, or substitution) can sometimes influence the protein dynamics and disrupt ... -
The Effectiveness of Technology Business Incubation: An Empirical Analysis in the Indian Context
Entrepreneurship is key to drive innovation, create wealth and jobs in any economy. Entrepreneurial startups hold the promise of high growth, yet they encounter high failure rates due to uncertainties, particularly in ... -
Understanding spontaneous emission in the strong coupling regime of an emitter and absorbing matter
This thesis proposes a partition of optical states into radiative and non-radiative parts when an emitter is proximal to resonant absorbing nanostructures. The conventional partition is valid only for the weak coupling ... -
Industry 4.0 Maturity and Readiness Assessment: A case of a Manufacturing Organization
The manufacturing sector is the economic backbone of a country and has traditionally played a key role in the growth of almost every country in the world. In India, the manufacturing sector contributes 17 percent to the ... -
Network models uncover key molecular perturbations in complex human diseases
Biological systems are complex networks of molecular components that function in a tightly controlled manner. Any form of perturbation in these components or their associated interactions affects the normal physiology of ... -
