X-Ray Crystallographic Studies Of Designed Peptides And Protected Omega Amino Acids : Structure, Conformation, Aggregation And Aromatic Interactions
(2009-05-18)
Peptides have assumed considerable importance in pharmaceutical industry and vaccine research. Understanding the structural features of these peptide molecules can be effective not only in mimicking natural proteins but ...
Investigations Of Spin-Dynamics And Steady-States Under Coherent And Relaxation Processes In Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-07)
The existence of bulk magnetism in matter can be attributed to the magnetic properties of the sub-atomic particles that constitute the former. The fact that the origin of these microscopic magnetic moments cannot be related ...
Carrier Mobility And High Field Transport in Modulation Doped p-Type Ge/Si1-xGex And n-Type Si/Si1-xGex Heterostructures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-26)
Modulation doped heterostructures have revolutionized the operation of field effect devices by increasing the speed of operation. One of the factors that affects the speed of operation of these devices is the mobility of ...
X-ray Crystallographic Studies Of Designed Peptides, Self Assembling Pseudopeptides And Molecular Modeling
(2009-03-04)
Structural studies of peptides has relevance for various applications, like, in de novo design of proteins, in designing better catalysts for organic synthesis, in structure based drug design, in the design and construction ...
Contributions To Venominformatics : Sequence-Structure-Function Studies Of Toxins From Marine Cone Snails. Application Of Order-Statistics Filters For Detecting Membrane-Spanning Helices
(2009-07-21)
Venomous animals have evolved a vast array of peptide toxins for prey capture and defense. Nature has evolved the venoms into a huge library of active molecules with high selectivity and affinity, which could be explored ...
Light Scattering Investigations Near The Critical Point In Some Solvophobic Systems And The Design And Analysis Of A Microkelvin Thermostat For Critical Phenomena Studies
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-05-21)
This thesis reports light-scattering experiments and visual investigations close to the critical point, in the solvophobic systems, 3-methylpyridine (3MP) + heavy water (D2O) + sodium bromide (NaBr) and methyl ethyl ketone ...
Studies of Static and Dynamic Multiscaling in Turbulence
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-06-17)
The physics of turbulence is the study of the chaotic and irregular behaviour in driven fluids. It is ubiquitous in cosmic, terrestrial and laboratory environments. To describe the properties of a simple incompressible ...
Crystal Structure Of Abrus Precatorius Agglutinin-I (APA-I) : Insights Into The Reduced Toxicity Of APA-I In Relation To Abrin. Formation Of Ordered Nanotubes Through Self Assembly In The Crystal Structures Of Dipeptides Containing α. β-dehydrophenylalanine
(2009-07-22)
Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are protein or glycoprotein toxins that bring about the arrest of protein synthesis by directly interacting with and inactivating the ribosomes. Such toxins are in general, of plant ...
Resistance Fluctuations And Instability In Metal Nanowires
(2009-03-13)
The principal aim of this thesis is to study the electrical transport properties of metal nanowires. Specifically, we have focussed on investigating the resistance fluctuations of Ag and Cu nanowires of diameters ranging ...
Numerical Studies Of Slow Dynamics And Glass Transition In Model Liquids
(2009-12-16)
An increase in the co-operativity in the motion of particles and a growth of a suitably defined dynamical correlation length seem to be generic features exhibited by all liquids upon supercooling. These features have been ...
