Computer Modeling and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Of Angiogenins And Its Ligand Bound Complexes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-05-04)Computational structural biology Even with rapid advances in structure determination methods, there is a long gap to be bridged between the number of proteins that have been sequenced and the number whose three-dimensional ... -
Designed β-Hairpin, β-Sheet And Mixed α-β Structures In Synthetic Peptides
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-16)Synthetic construction of protein molecules has been widely pursued over the last two decades. A primary goal behind de novo protein design has been to build minimal systems by capturing the essential features of protein ... -
Endotoxin Peptide/Protein Interactions: Thermodynamic And Kinetic Analysis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-05-15)Endotoxin or Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the invariant structural component of gram negative bacterial outer membranes and is the chief causative factor of Sepsis or endotoxic shock. Sepsis is a syndrome that has very high ... -
Energetics Of Protein-Carbohydrate Recognition
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-04-28)The work embodied in this thesis pertains to an attempt to understand better, the molecular basis of protein-carbohydrate recognition. For this purpose a systematic study was undertaken, not only of the energetics of ... -
Garlic (Allium Sativum) Agglutinin I: Specificity, Binding And Folding Mechanism
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-11-08)Lectins are a class of proteins that bind to carbohydrates with a high degree of specificity. They are involved in various cellular processes such as, host - pathogen interactions, targeting of proteins within cells, cell ... -
Interaction Of Chaperone SecB With Protein Substrates: A Biophysical Study
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-17)In the cell, as in in vitro, the final conformation of a protein is determined by it's amino acid sequence (1). Some isolated proteins can be denatured and refolded in vitro in absence of extrinsic factors. However, in ... -
Non-repetitive Structures In Proteins : Effects Of Side-chain And Solvent Interactions With The Backbone
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-05-12)The work presented in this thesis deals with the analysis of protein crystal structures with an emphasis on the stereochemical aspects of the folded conformation of proteins. The various analyses described have been performed ... -
Structural Studies On Winged Bean Agglutinins
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-01-11)Lectins are multivalent carbohydrate binding proteins that specifically recognise diverse sugar structures and mediate a variety of biological processes, such as cell-cell and host-pathogen interactions, serum glycoprotein ...
