Understanding the Regulatory Steps that Govern the Activation of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis σK
(2018-07-28)A distinctive feature of host-pathogen interactions in the case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the asymptomatic latent phase of infection. The ability of the bacillus to survive for extended periods of time in the host ... -
Understanding the role of arginine clusters in β-hairpin antimicrobial peptides
The work described in this thesis describes the role of arginine clusters and the importance of their position in B-hairpin antimicrobial peptides. Here, we have tried to explore the role of guanidinium groups in the ... -
Unusual Acylation Properties Of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Acyl Carrier Proteins
(2010-07-06)This thesis entitled ‘ Unusual Acylation Properties of Type II Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Acyl Carrier Proteins’ describes the discovery of self-acylation and malonyl transferase activity in acyl carrier proteins involved in ... -
Use of strategically designed protein-like sequences in structure and function recognition
The advent of high fidelity protein sequencing techniques has led to a considerable wealth of sequence data. However, the number of proteins with information on 3-D structure and functional features available is considerably ... -
Use of sub-family specific residues of protein modules in recognizing sites of functional and structural specialization
Functional and regulatory features of a protein in a living system are determined by several factors such as chemical nature and three-dimensional arrangement of residues in the functional site, spatial and temporal ...
