Bilin Conformation, Phycocyanin, Phycoerythrin, Phytochrome Ramachandran-type calculations are performed for conformations of bilin chromophores pres­ ent in the biliproteins phycocyanin, phycoerythrin and phytochrome. The atomic coordinates are taken from x-ray data of crystalline model compounds, namely biliverdin for pyrrole rings B, C, D and substituted succinimides for the hydrogenated rin...

Acknowledgments I am grateful for the supervision of Dr. Vijaya Ramachandran during my undergraduate research. I have learned from her the fundamentals of theoretical Computer Science and the joy of doing research. Her tireless passion and motivation enlightens my way through many difficult problems. It is my honor to work with Dr. Ganeshkumar Ganapathy and Rezaul Chowdhury, with generous help ...

A previous survey of locally grown lettuce in Penang indicated high levels of helminths forming a ready source of infection and resulting from the use of night soil (Khairul Anuar and Ramachandran, 1977). A parallel study also showed the presence of Entamoeba coli and other protozoans in many samples (Khairul Anuar, pers. comm.). The aim of this study was to determine the levels of enteric bact...

Title of dissertation: VIDEO PROCESSING WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Mahesh Ramachandran, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Rama Chellappa Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Cameras are frequently deployed along with many additional sensors in aerial and ground-based platforms. Many video datasets have metadata containing measurements from inertial sen...

The conformational propensities of the Aib residue on the example of two model peptides Ac-Aib-NHMe (1) and Ac-Aib-NMe2 (2), were studied by B3LYP and M06-2X functionals, in the gas phase and in the polar solvents. To verify the reliability of selected functionals, we also performed MP2 calculations for the tested molecules in vacuum. Polarizable continuum models (PCM and SMD) were used to esti...

In monocular viewing there is a region in the peripheral visual field that is blind due to the absence of photoreceptors at the site where the optic nerve exits the eye. This region, like certain other blind spots, nonetheless appears filled in (Walls 1954). Ramachandran (1992a,b) has recently reported several novel demonstrations of filling-in at the blind spot. In this essay we critically ree...

Traditional methods for macromolecular refinement often have limited success at low resolution (3.0-3.5 Å or worse), producing models that score poorly on crystallographic and geometric validation criteria. To improve low-resolution refinement, knowledge from macromolecular chemistry and homology was used to add three new coordinate-restraint functions to the refinement program phenix.refine. F...
