IIT Bhubaneswar Research group from School of Basic Sciences has published an article in Proteins: Structure, Function and Bioinformatics Journal

Dr. Ashis Biswas's research group from School of Basic Sciences has recently published a manuscript entitled “The impact of different mutations at arginine141 on the structure, subunit exchange dynamics and chaperone activity of Hsp16.3” in Proteins: Structure, Function and Bioinformatics journal (from Wiley publishers). This particular study identified an important amino acid residue (arginine141/R141) in C-terminal extension of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Hsp16.3 which efficiently controls its structure and chaperone function. Furthermore, the results presented in this article laid a good foundation for developing a better second generation vaccine candidate against tuberculosis.
