  Molecular Dynamics Simulation of RND Efflux Pumps Involved in Multidrug Resistance

  By Pankaj chetia, Minakshi Puzari

  Abstract: The appearance of resistant strains of Gram-negative bacteria against antibiotics has compromised the efficiency of treatment. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is mainly due to the involvement of Resistance-nodulation division (RND) efflux pumps that actively pump out the drugs. For inhibition of the pump, it is essential to understand the structure as well as molecular basis of the process. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is employed to understand the conformational dynamics and functional …

  rbcL Gene Based Molecular Phylogenetic Studies of Certain Pteridophytes of Assam

  By Pankaj chetia, Banashree Chetia Phukan, Dilip Tamang

  Abstract: About 16 species of pteridophytes found in Assam (India), were selected and their variation in chloroplast rbcL gene sequences were studied. Molecular phylogenetic analysis was performed using rbcL gene sequences where a bryophyte, Funaria hygrometrica was taken as outgroup sequence. The result showed that the outgroup Funaria hygrometrica forms a totally separate branching from rest of the pteridophytic species. On the other hand, aquatic pteridophytes, Marsilea minuta and Azolla pinnata …
