Solution Structural Studies And Substrate Binding Properties Of The Amino-Terminal Domain Of E.coli Pantothenate Synthetase
(2011-03-29)
Pantothenate synthetase (PS), which catalyzes the last step in the pantothenate (vitamin B5) biosynthesis, is a dimeric enzyme present in bacteria, fungi and plants. The enzymatic properties of PS from Escherichia Coli, ...
Determinants Of Globular Protein Stability And Temperature Sensitivity Inferred From Saturation Mutagenesis Of CcdB
(2011-02-25)
The unique native structure is a basic requirement for normal functioning of most proteins. Many diseases stem from mutations in proteins that destabilize the protein structure thereby resulting in impairment or loss of ...
Thermodynamic Characterization Of Wild Type And Mutants Of The E.coli Periplasmic Binding Proteins LBP, LIVBP, MBP And RBP
(2009-03-13)
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 ...
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 ...
Conformational Analysis And Design Of Disulfides In Antiparallel β-Sheets And Helices
(2013-08-30)
Disulfides are the primary covalent interactions within a protein molecule that connect residues which are sequentially distant. Naturally occurring disulfides enhance the stability of the protein by destabilization of ...
Computational And Experimental Studies On Protein Structure, Stability And Dynamics
(2014-08-18)
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 ...
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 ...
