1. DNA strand exchange and hydrophobic interactions between biomolecules
Abstract : The role of hydrophobic interactions in DNA strand exchange has been studied using fluorescence-labeled DNA oligomers in a FRET assay. Strand exchange was found to be accelerated in the presence of polyethylene glycol, which provides a crowded and hydrophobic environment possibly mimicking that of the catalytically active recombinase-DNA complexes.

2. Structural studies of bio-molecules and lipid assemblies using polarized light spectroscopy
Abstract : The focus of the research presented in this thesis is structural studies of biological macromolecules using Linear Dichroism (LD) spectroscopy. The first part covers the flow alignment and structure of DMPC/DHPC phospholipid aggregates. READ MORE

3. Promoter Engineering for Cyanobacteria : An Essential Step
Abstract : Synthetic biology views a complex biological system as an ensemble in the hierarchy of parts, devices, systems, and networks. The practice of using engineering rules such as decoupling and standardization to understand, predict, and re-build novel biological functions from model-driven designed genetic circuits is emphasized.

4. Linking transcription to DNA replication in mammalian mitochondria
Abstract : Most of the adenosine phosphate (ATP) used to drive cellular processes is produced through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). At the heart of this process is the electron transport chain, which contains a number of protein complexes located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. READ MORE

5. The interface of mitochondrial DNA transcription and replication
Abstract : Mitochondria are a dynamic network of subcellular organelles that produce the majority of cellular ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The components of the respiratory chain are encoded by two separate genomes, nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and the proper maintenance of both of these genomic entities is therefore crucial for cellular ATP levels and the survival of the cell.
