Quantum Information Processing By NMR : Relaxation Of Pseudo Pure States, Geometric Phases And Algorithms
(2009-04-13)
This thesis focuses on two aspects of Quantum Information Processing (QIP) and contains experimental implementation by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The two aspects are: (i) development of novel methodologies ...
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 ...
Theoretical Investigations Of Core-Level Spectroscopies In Strongly Correlated Systems
(2009-03-11)
Ever since the discovery of exotic phenomena like high temperature (Tc) superconductivity
in the cuprates and colossal magnetoresistance in the manganites, strongly correlated electron systems have become the center of ...
Theoretical Investigation Of Relativistic Effects In Heavy Atoms And Polar Molecules
(2009-03-20)
Extensive theoretical studies on the ground and excited state properties of systems containing heavy atoms have shown that accurate prediction of transition energies and related properties requires the incorporation of ...
Nature Of Criticality, Structuring, And Phase Behavior Of Complex Fluids
(2009-03-04)
This thesis is mainly concerned with some important properties of complex fluids, and how these properties are influenced by structures in the nano/mesoscopic scale. Short-range assembly of the constituent molecules results ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
