• Biochemical and structural characterization of Myxococcus xanthus Frz chemosensory receptor complex 

  DAS, APURBA (2026-04)

  In bacterial chemotaxis, methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) detect environmental cues and initiate a phosphorelay signal. In Myxococcus xanthus, the Frz pathway regulates motility in response to these cues. MCPs ...
• Structural and topological defects governing plastic deformation in colloidal glasses under shear 

  SAHU, RATIMANASEE (2026-04)

  Defects play a fundamental role in determining the mechanical behavior of materials. In crystalline solids, their nature and dynamics are well understood, as dislocations and vacancies mediate plastic deformation. However, ...
