CCMB scientists discover proteins flexibility, could lead to new advances in medicine
Study shows how subtle changes in a protein’s sequence can lead to significant differences in function, emphasising the need for a combined study of both structure and dynamics, particularly for proteins that are drug targets Scientists at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have shown that proteins do not always rely on their… Continue reading CCMB scientists discover proteins flexibility, could lead to new advances in medicine
Not just DNA, proteins: CCMB team finds lipids also guide evolution
Scientists’ understanding of lipids is limited to their role as things that hold proteins. A study from Swasti Raychaudhuri’s lab challenges this view. Our bodies are made of cells. Each cell is a soup of smaller components, all working together to execute the body’s various functions. Perhaps the most well-known of these components are proteins… Continue reading Not just DNA, proteins: CCMB team finds lipids also guide evolution
Integrate your research, open up to people: Union Minister Jitendra Singh to CSIR labs
It is high time that labs under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Department of Bio-Technology (DBT) and also Department of Science & Technology (DST) work in synergy in an integrated manner and open up for the various stakeholders, said Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh on Tuesday. “We… Continue reading Integrate your research, open up to people: Union Minister Jitendra Singh to CSIR labs
Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology announces breakthrough method to measure biodiversity of all life forms in an ecosystem
Researchers at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, have developed a method to assess the total biodiversity of any ecosystem by sequencing the DNA fragments found in the area. Dr G Umapathy, Senior Principal Scientist and Group Leader at the CCMB, said that a new breakthrough method to measure the biodiversity of… Continue reading Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology announces breakthrough method to measure biodiversity of all life forms in an ecosystem
