Physiological Interactions between Neuronal Active Conductances And Inositol Trisphosphate Receptors in Neurons and Astrocytes
(2018-07-23)
Intricate interactions among constituent components are defining hallmarks of biological systems and sculpt physiology across different scales spanning gene networks to behavioural repertoires. Whereas interactions among ...
In Silico Perspectives on RNA Structures Modulating Viral Gene Expression and Mechanics of tRNA Transport
(2018-07-19)
The repertoire of cellular functions mediated by Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules have expanded considerably during the last two decades. The role played by RNA in controlling and regulating gene expression in ...
Modulation of Protein Stability and Function by Cysteine Mutations and Signal Peptides
(2018-06-23)
Chapter 1gives a general introduction to the CXXC motif found in natural proteins. It then reviews the studies where disulphides were engineered in various proteins. The various strategies developed to engineer metal binding ...
Computational Analyses of Protein Structure and Immunogen Design
(2018-08-20)
The sequence of a polypeptide chain determines its structure which in turns determines its function. A protein is stabilized by multiple forces; hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bond formation ...
The Role of DNA Structural Features of Eukaryotic Promoter Sequences in Transcription Regulation
(2018-09-04)
Understanding the molecular structure of DNA was considered as greatest achievement in modern biology. It helped in understanding fundamental cellular processes such as replication of DNA, nature of the ...
Structural and Functional Analysis of Proteins involved in Microbial Stress Tolerance and Virulence
(2018-08-11)
The genus Salmonella consists of pathogenic gram negative organisms which infect intestines of birds, animals and humans. They are the causative agents of salmonellosis which is characterised by diarrhoea, nausea, fever ...
Substrate Specificity Determinants of Class III Nucleotide Cyclases
(2018-07-31)
Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP (cAMP and cGMP) are important second messengers in key signal-transduction pathways that mediate various physiological functions in bacteria and eukaryotes. Adenylyl Cyclases (ACs) and Guanylyl ...
