-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-02)The thesis entitled ‘’Design, Synthesis and characterization of “Janus PNAs”: Novel PNA backbone analogues that form double duplexes with cDNA’’ is comprised of studies towards the design, synthesis, biophysical evaluation ...
-
(Dept. of Physics, 2020-02)A register, storing quantum information, invariably interacts with its surrounding environment and consequently gets exposed to environmental noises. Ensuring fault-tolerance against environmental noise is vital in unlocking ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-12)Cancer is a multifactorial mutagenic disease making it one of the leading causes of death globally. The complexity and heterogeneity associated with cancer presents a challenging problem with respect to its treatment. In ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-01)The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel is activated by a diverse range of stimuli including noxious heat and pain-inducing agents. The molecular mechanisms underlying this polymodal channel ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2020-01)Intermediate filaments along with microtubules and microfilaments form the cytoskeletal structure in cells. Unlike the other two components, the molecular structure of the intermediate filament has not been determined at ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2019-06)Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) fire at the vertices of a hexagonal grid that tiles the entire space an animal explores. This pattern serves as an allocentric coordinate system for animals to integrate ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-07)Non-covalent interactions play a significant role in the structure and function of biomolecules as well as materials. These weak intermolecular interactions are generally classified into different categories such as hydrogen ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-09)Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are environmentally friendly energy conversion devices where electrical energy is derived from chemical energy. The key role of the membrane is to prevent the mixing of the reactant ...
-
(Dept. of Physics, 2020-01)The phenomenon of weak ferromagnetism, observed in some otherwise antiferromagnets (AFMs) such as in α- Fe2O3, MnCO3, CoCO3, is associated with a spin canting mechanism related to the well-known Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2020-01)Thiols are biologically important molecules and play a vital role in a number of cellular processes. Cysteine is the most important biological thiol, least abundant (3.3%), yet highly conserved on the proteome. Along with ...
-
(Dept. of Physics, 2019-11)We use a wormlike micelle model that uniquely gives us the control parameter to change its excluded volume. We show that the model successfully captures the characteristic behaviour of the wormlike micellar system. Using ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-12)Recrossing is a dynamical effect that changes the rate calculated using static energy landscape criteria such as transition state theory. Kramers theory predicted that for spatial diffusion regime, recrossing is directly ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-12)Thymine, a DNA nucleobase, when photoexcited, relaxes to the ground state on an ultrafast timescale. In contrast, when one or both oxygen atoms in thymine are replaced with sulphur (yielding three different thiothymines), ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-12)The metal-catalyzed reactions have pivotal importance in chemical synthesis, which can be utilized to construct challenging organic scaffold of biological importance with improved sustainability and atom economy. In ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-12)Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an important gaseous signaling molecule with diverse physiological roles. Endogenously produced H2S regulates the homeostasis of various physiological processes such as cardiovascular, ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-12)Mitochondrion, a central metabolic organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cells, required for bioenergetics, biosynthesis, and signaling. Overall, collective finding suggests that these functions of mitochondria are ...
-
(Dept. of Physics, 2019-09)The large-scale structure of the Universe comprising of galaxies and dark matter has a web-like geometry which is called the 'Cosmic Web'. Its main constituents are walls, filaments, clusters, and voids. The galaxy ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-08)In the hall of fame of biopolymers, RNA forms diverse structures which enable it to perform an extensive array of functions ranging from data storage to catalysis. The broad range of RNA structures in cellular milieu ...
-
(Dept. of Biology, 2019-11)Epithelial cell shapes in metazoans have a conserved hexagon-dominated polygon distribution. However, the geometric constraints and mechanisms that result in the spherical to polygonal transition remain to be elucidated. ...
-
(Dept. of Chemistry, 2019-11)Polymer translocation is an important biological process which has become an active field of research in recent past due to its potential application in DNA sequencing, drug design, virus injection, etc. This work was aimed ...
