Structural Studies on Heat Shock Protein 90 from Dictyostelium Discoideum and Oryza Sativa
(2018-05-09)
Molecular chaperones are proteins that interact with and aid in stabilization and activation of other proteins. Chaperones help proteins attain their three dimensional conformation, without forming a part of the final ...
Protein Engineering and Stabilization of HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein
(2018-05-09)
A number of viral diseases such as Hepatitis B, small pox, measles, rubella and polio have effective vaccines to control or eradicate them. HIV-1 is a lentivirus which infects human immune cells and leads to the disease ...
Structural Studies on the Role of Hinge involved in Domain Swapping in Salmonella Typhimurium Stationary Phase Survival Protein (SurE) and Sesbania Mosaic Virus Coat Protein
(2018-05-09)
A unique mechanism of protein oligomerization is domain swapping. It is a feature found in some proteins wherein a dimer or a higher oligomer is formed by the exchange of identical structural segments between protomers. ...
Small Heat Shock Proteins from Oryza Sativa and Salmonella Enterica
(2018-05-09)
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are a ubiquitous family of molecular chaperones that play a vital role in maintaining protein homeostasis in cells. They are the first line of defence against the detrimental effects of ...
Structural and Related Studies on Mycobacterial Lectins
(2018-05-09)
This thesis is concerned with the first ever X-ray crystallographic and complimentary solution studies on mycobacterial lectins. Lectins, described as multivalent carbohydrate binding proteins of non-immune origin, are ...
Molecular Characterization of Bacillus Subtilis Oxidoreductases involved in the Bacilysin Synthesis
(2018-05-11)
The biosynthetic pathway for the production of the dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin has been the subject of intense research over the past three decades. These studies revealed the role of multiple enzymes in the biosynthesis ...
Structural Studies On Three-Fold Symmetric Plant Lectins
(2013-05-21)
Lectins, multivalent carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin, have the unique ability to decode the information contained in complex carbohydrate structures of glycoproteins and glycolipids by stereo-specifically ...
Structural And Mechanistic Studies On Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases From Drosophila Melanogaster
(2013-06-20)
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPs) initiate, modulate and terminate key cellular processes by dephosphorylating phosphotyrosine (pY) residues on signaling proteins. The coordinated action of PTPs with their cognate ...
Sequence Analysis And Design Of Immunogens From The Stem Domain Of Influenza Hemagglutinin
(2013-07-10)
Influenza is an important respiratory pathogen that infects several million people each year. Currently available flu vaccines have to be updated regularly in order to be effective as the virus changes its composition by ...
Structural Studies On Physalis Mottle Virus Capsid Proteins & Stress Response Proteins Of Oryza Sativa And Salmonella Typhimurium
(2013-04-26)
X-ray crystallography is one of the most powerful tools for the elucidation of the structure of biological macromolecules such as proteins and viruses. Crystallographic techniques are extensively used for investigations ...
