1. Functional assays for the diagnosis of primary defects in lymphocyte cytotoxicity
Abstract : Cytotoxic lymphocytes encompass natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). These cells detect and kill virus-infected as well as malignant cells. Primary defects in lymphocyte cytotoxicity are associated with development of a hyperinflammatory syndrome termed hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). READ MORE

2. Computational Protein Evolution : Modeling the Selectivity and Promiscuity of Engineered Enzymes
Abstract : Enzymes are biological catalysts that significantly increase the rate of all biochemical reactions that take place within cells and are essential to maintain life. Many questions regarding their function remain unknown. READ MORE

3. Modelling the Protein-DNA Interface
Abstract : Protein-DNA interactions are crucial to life. Several millions of DNA base pair steps are organ- ised, read and protected by proteins in every cell. Protein-DNA interactions must be specific, controllable and reasonably fast. Understanding how these features coexist is one of the great challenges for biochemists and molecular biologists.

4. The Mussel Adhesive Protein (Mefp-1) : A GREEN Corrosion Inhibitor
Abstract : Corrosion of metallic materials is a natural process, and our study shows that even in an alkaline environment severe corrosion may occur on a carbon steel surface. While corrosion cannot be stopped it can be retarded. READ MORE

5. Accuracy of mRNA Translation in Bacterial Protein Synthesis
Abstract : Reading of messenger RNA (mRNA) by aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) on the ribosomes in the bacterial cell occurs with high accuracy. It follows from the physical chemistry of enzymatic reactions that there must be a trade-off between rate and accuracy of initial tRNA selection in protein synthesis: when the current accuracy, the A-value, approaches its maximal possible value, the d-value, the kinetic efficiency of the reaction approaches zero.
