Proteins, especially biomolecules such as enzymes, can exist in different structural conformations over a span of time. This property, also called conformational heterogeneity, plays an…
During the early months of 2020, researchers from TIFR Hyderabad began working on strategies to arrest the spread of COVID-19. Here, we list some of…
S. Mathimalar and Satyaki Sasmal (from Karthik V. Raman’s lab) give us a brief preview of their work on a three dimensional topological insulator. The characteristics…
Researchers from Karthik V. Raman’s lab achieve a breakthrough in decoupling surface magnetism from a bulk magnet- a phenomenon which they call the ‘Molecular Crane…
“You are the Yin to my Yang”, said every receptor to its ligand; and they lived triggering cellular responses happily ever after. Binding of ligands…
In this study, T. N. Narayanan and Karthik V. Raman’s research groups (TIFR Hyderabad) in association with Nirmal Viswanathan (University of Hyderabad) report a method…
In 2014, Kanchan Garai’s lab set out to investigate the early stages of aggregation of amyloid proteins. These proteins are characteristic of diseases such as…
If physicists were asked to come up with a list of things they are completely smitten by, there is an enormous chance that colloids shall…
