-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-11)Cancer is a disease that hitch hikes growth regulatory network and causes uncontrollable cell proliferation and metastasis which is usually fatal. Genetic alterations in cancer cells enable such hitch hiking of regulatory ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-10)Porosity is an important property of materials and observed in rocks, soils, biological tissues, ceramics, zeolites etc. The exquisite control over the order and functionality of porous architectures led to the design of ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-07)Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) offer a dynamic platform to play with its chemical functionalities as well as with it’s the structure and symmetry. The choice of symmetry of the building units drives the propagation the ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-05)Heparin is a well-known linear polysulfated polysaccharide with alternating D-glucosamine (GlcN) and either D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) or L-iduronic acid (IdoA) units of the glycosaminoglycan family. Since 1940, it has been ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-07)Mitochondrial structure is regulated by a dedicated machinery for fusion and fission. Recently mitochondrial architecture regulation is known to be involved in stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and the molecular ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-05)Probing the structure of nucleic acids is paramount in understanding their recognition properties and ensuing functions. Nucleic acids are commonly studied by biophysical techniques like fluorescence, NMR, EPR and X-ray ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-09)The spatial distribution of populations is shaped by phenomena such as range shifts and range expansions. The process underlying these phenomena (i.e. dispersal), however, is often demography- and context-dependent. The ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2019-06)In this dissertation we present a comparative study of the diversity patterns of two disparate organismal groups – Lepidoptera: Sphingidae (hawkmoths) and Aves (birds) – along an elevational gradient spanning 200-2800 m ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-09)The fundamental objective of this thesis is to introduce a methodology to design self-assembling, stimuli-responsive, protein-dendron conjugates. The research during my doctoral study was mainly focused on designing a ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-01)Microtubules (MTs) and MT associated proteins form an essential component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. Asters are radial arrays of MTs, involved in vital cellular processes such as spindle assembly,chromosome segregation, ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-09)Proteins interact with one another and other biomolecules to carry out their function. These interactions are mediated via residues on surfaces of proteins and other biomolecules. In this thesis, we studied both protein-protein ...
-
(Dept. of Mathematics, 2020-05)As every smooth manifold can be smoothly triangulated so triangulations are a useful tool to combinatorially study manifolds. It is known that any two smooth triangulations of a manifold are related by a finite sequence ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-08)Over the last two decades, backbone homologated α-amino acids such as β- and -amino acids have been extensively explored as building blocks to design various types of functional foldamers. In contrast to the β- and ...
-
(Dept. of Physics, 2020-03)Ultracold quantum gases have thrived as an interdisciplinary field of condensed matter physics, quantum optics, atomic and molecular physics. It boasts set-ups with precisely controllable and highly tuneable interaction ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-03)This thesis discusses original works done by Mr. Kingshuk Roy on designing unique and novel anode materials for Li-ion batteries. The overall thesis is divided into four chapters and ends with an appendix. The first chapter ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-08)Hydra is a freshwater polyp belonging to the phylum Cnidaria. These polyps are known to exhibit tremendous regenerating potential. It is still unclear how the regenerating tissue is reorganized, how the complex interplay ...
-
(Dept. of Physics, 2020-02)A2B2O7 oxides (where A3+ is a rare-earth and B4+ a transition-metal ion) crystallizing with the cubic pyrochlore structure are well-known three-dimensional spin frustrated systems. The source of frustration in these ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-08)Phenotypic plasticity enables plants to cope with ever-changing environmental conditions. This often involves regulated gene expression mediated by chromatin modifiers, such as Polycomb (PcG) and Trithorax (TrxG) group ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-01)The thesis is comprised of two components. The first part deals with studies on peptide nucleic acids (PNA) which are conjugated to triantennary N- acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc) for targeted delivery to hepatocytes via ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-01)Multifunctional materials displaying ferroelectricity are very attractive for their utility in high-technique applications in the areas of energy and electronics. Traditionally inorganic ceramic oxides are employed as ...
