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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Electrical And Magnetic Properties Of Polyvinylchloride - Amorphous Carbon / Iron Carbide Nanoparticle Comosites
(2009-05-18)
The UV-Visible spectra of a-C composites and nano composites have provided a very useful information about the electronic states and band structure. The UV-Visible spectra of a-C as well as nanoparticle are qualitatively ...
High Precision Optical Frequency Metrology
(2009-07-22)
Precise measurements of both absolute frequencies and small frequency differences of atomic energy levels have played an important role in the development of physics. For example, high precision measurements of absolute ...
Studies Of Phosphorus-Functionalized Calix[4]arenes And Their Palladium Complexes
(2009-03-31)
Calixarenes, particularly calix[4]arenes, continue to attract considerable attention in synthetic chemistry, notably as platforms for designing sophisticated molecular cages and claw-like ligands. Incorporation of phosphorus ...
Thermal Fluctuation Spectroscopy And Its Application In The Study Of Biomolecules
(2009-03-03)
The aim of this thesis is to study the energy fluctuations (leading to thermal fluctuations) during thermal and enzymatic denaturation of biological molecules and to study the variation in fluctuations between simple ...
