Solution NMR studies of a potent subtilisin inhibitor from Budgett’s frog and the catalytic subunit of AHAS
This thesis involves a detailed structural study of two molecular systems, a small disulfide-rich peptide LL-TIL and a large catalytic subunit of AHAS.
Subtilisin inhibitors play an important role in fighting against ...
Structural and biochemical studies on mycobacterial Uracil-DNA glycosylase (Ung) and MutT1, key proteins involved in maintaining the genomic integrity in Mycobacteria
Maintaining genomic integrity is indispensable for the survival and propagation of an organism. Failure to do so can cause mutations involving structural and functional aberrations, leading to severe diseases. The causative ...
Structural characterization of Staphylococcal γ-hemolysin in the presence of a lipid environment using single particle cryo-EM
γ-Hemolysin (γ-HL) is a quintessential bicomponent β-pore forming toxin (β-PFT) belonging to the arsenal of “superbug” Staphylococcus aureus. Here, we performed negative staining-TEM and single particle cryo-EM-based ...
First thorough characterization of the structure, interactions and specificity of an archeal lectin with implication for TB infection
Decades long studies on plant lectins carried out in this laboratory have contributed substantially to glycobiology and helped in the initiation and development of macromolecular crystallography in India. Subsequently the ...
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 ...
