For a long time, the scientific community underestimated the value of carbohydrates and the approach of most scientists to the complex world of glycans was apprehensive. The scenario, however, has changed today. With the ...

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 ...

The Dps (DNA-Binding Protein from Starved Cells) proteins are a class of stress-specific proteins with a major role in protecting DNA during the stationary phase of bacterial growth, through direct physical binding as well ...

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 ...

This thesis entitled “Mechanism of Anticancer and Antimalarial Action of a Modulator of Heat Shock Proteins” describes the successful elucidation of the mechanism of anticancer and antimalarial action of 15-Deoxyspergualin ...

Native states of globular proteins typically show stabilization in the range of 5 to 15 kcal/mol with respect to their unfolded states. There has been a considerable progress in the area of protein stability and folding ...
