This volume is primarily a compilation of contributed articles representing the impact and application of Ramachandran's work on conformation analysis of biopolymers, as well as recent advances in macromolecular structural biology, involving diverse experimental and computational approaches. This volume is being published to coincide with a conference on "Biomolecular Forms and Functions: A celebration of 50 years of the Ramachandran Map" being held at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in January 2013.
Understanding the functions and properties of molecules in living systems requires a detailed knowledge of their three-dimensional structures and the conformational variability that allows them to adopt multiple functional forms. Interpreting biological systems in the language of three-dimensional structures is of fundamental importance and innumerable research groups around the world are working in this area. This book is a compilation of articles describing attempts at understanding the intricacies of biological systems through the structures of and interactions between their constituent molecules.
Nucleic Acid Research: Future Development reflects the exchange of ideas and information among the participants of ""The Future of Nucleic Acid Research"" symposium held at Kyoto on December 1981. This publication aims to extend the ideas presented in the symposium and to provide facts that can answer various scientific questions, particularly, in molecular biology. The book is divided into five parts. It explains the structure of DNA and chromosome and the interaction of nucleic acids with proteins. It also discusses the gene organization of prokaryotes as well as the gene expressions in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Moreover, it talks about the DNA replication and recombination prokaryotes. This publication is a masterful reference for genetics and molecular biology researchers and lecturers. It will also be an excellent learning material for students taking different courses in biology, including genetics, cell and molecular biology, molecular biophysics, and biochemistry.
Of central importance in personal care, food, pharmaceutics, and biotechnology, biomaterials and biosubstrates formed the subject of the fifth meeting of the Royal Society-Unilever INDO-UK Forum in Materials Science and Engineering. The programme for this meeting dwelt on two principal foci: (i) new advances in the measurement of the supramolecular and colloidal structures, and (ii) the relationship of these structures to the functional properties of the materials.This volume is a compilation of selected papers presented at the meeting by world-renowned scientists who included, among others, Prof E D T Atkins (Bristol, UK), Prof N Chandrakumar (Chennai, India), Dr A M Hermansson (Goteborg, Sweden), Dr V J Morris (Norwich, UK), Prof P Walstra (Wageningen, The Netherlands), Dr V Prakash (Mysore, India), Prof S B Ross-Murphy (King's College, London, UK), Prof G E Rogers (Adelaide, Australia), Dr T Kealey (Cambridge, UK) and Prof N Appaji Rao (Bangalore, India)./a
In this issue, we have put forward a variety of ideas contributing to the fulcrum of power, paradigm of science and technology and conceptualisation of the management of conflict. Thus, the present volume discusses at a global level the role of the vicissitudes of the future of land warfare, artificial intelligence, the ambitious nature of China’s expansionist policy and its quest for modernisation, the relevance of the Indo-Pacific region, India’s oil security, India’s civil-military relationship, its interest and role in the affairs of the Indo-Pacific region, and assessment of the American grand strategy in Asia. Writings to observe in hindsight the participation by the Indian armed forces beyond the international borders, reviewing how India manages its national security and how the role of the Indian Army is perceived internationally as drawn from the book reviews and opinion pieces.
Bioinformatics has evolved significantly in the era of post genomics and big data. Huge advancements were made toward storing, handling, mining, comparing, extracting, clustering and analysis as well as visualization of big macromolecular data using novel computational approaches, machine and deep learning methods, and web-based server tools. There are extensively ongoing world-wide efforts to build the resources for regional hosting, organized and structured access and improving the pre-existing bioinformatics tools to efficiently and meaningfully analyze day-to-day increasing big data. This book intends to provide the reader with updates and progress on genomic data analysis, data modeling and network-based system tools.
This work examines how Indian and Vietnamese immigrants in the Dallas-Arlington-Fort Worth area of Texas learn and practice civic engagement.
In Once Upon A Prime Time, Ananth Mahadevan pens the memoirs of his journey on Indian television. From first hand experiences with film makers who were the founding fathers of television serials, to today's consumerism driven shows, he has tasted them all. The book reads like an autobiography yet covers virtually every major player who was responsible for the nostalgia that Indian television now evokes. It incorporates exclusive moments with many celebrities and award winning directors. Join the actors on their sets as they perform for television and learn about the stories that made the shows come to life. Covering artistes and makers who impacted our world, such as Amitabh Bachchan, Hrishi...
