Biophysical Studies On The Plastic And Cooperative Properties Of Single Voltage Gated Na+ And Leak K+ Ion Channels
(2011-03-08)Ion channels are fundamental molecules in the nervous system that catalyze the flux of ions across the cell membrane. There are mounting evidences suggesting that the kinetic properties of ion channels undergo activity-dependent ... -
Identification, characterization, structure, and assembly of type III toxin-antitoxin systems from Escherichia coli
Bacteria adopt several defense strategies to enable their survival against the environmental threats they encounter from time to time. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are being understood as a key bacterial defense mechanism ... -
Structural And Biophysical Analysis Of The Regulatory Mechanism Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Sigma Factors
(2010-12-07)Mycobacterium tuberculosis has one ribosomal RNA operon. The survival of this bacillus thus depends on a transcription mechanism that can effectively couple gene expression to changes in the environment. σ factors are ... -
Structure Function Studies Of Biologically Important Simple Repetitive DNA Sequences
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-09)The recent explosion of DNA sequence information has provided compelling evidence for the following facts. (1) Simple repetitive sequences-microsatellites and minisatellites occur commonly in the human genome and (2) these ...
