Oxidative stress is a universal phenomenon experienced by both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during the stress, which can damage most cellular components including proteins, ...

The Langmuir – Blodgett (LB) technique is about forming insoluble monolayer on the surface of aqueous solution and recently, it has emerged as one of the best method to study floating monolayer at the air – water interface. ...

The availability of completely sequenced genomes for a number of organisms provides an opportunity to understand the molecular basis of physiology, metabolism, regulation and evolution of these organisms. Significant ...

The last few decades have witnessed an upsurge in the availability of large-scale data on genomes and genome-scale information. The development of methods to understand the trends and patterns from large scale data promised ...

The fidelity of biological processes and reactions, inspite of the widespread diversity, is programmed by highly specific physico-chemical principles. This underlines our basic understanding of different interesting phenomena ...

Bacterial stationary phase is an interesting biological system to study, as the organism undergoes several metabolic changes during this period and new molecules are generated to support its survival. The stationary phase ...

The work in this thesis focuses on the study of three main aspects of proteins, viz, Protein structure, stability, and dynamics. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to the topics studied in this thesis. Chapter 2 deals ...

The current, grim world-TB scenario, with TB being the single largest infectious disease killer, warrants a more effective approach to tackle the deadly pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The deadly synergy of this ...
