      This study highlights the effects of jet quenching on the hydrodynamical evolution of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)fluid created in a heavy-ion collision, revealing that in jet quenching, a hard QCD parton, before fragmenting into a jet of hadrons, deposits a fraction of its energy.

  • Contaminating insert degradation by preincubation colony PCR: A method for avoiding false positives in transformant screening

      Colony PCR is an easy technique for quick screening of transformants and hence is used in many recombinant laboratories. However the major disadvantage is occurence of false positives. Though efforts have been done before to address this problem, but solution limits this technique by mandatory requirement of flanking vector oligos, which many a times is not possible. This work imparts universatility by removing this limitation and provides a quick method devoid of false positives for any cloning vector.

  • Crucial role of cytosolic tryparedoxin peroxidase in Leishmania donovani survival, drug response and virulence

      Leishmaniasis or kala-azar is a parasitic disease that has re-emerged in India. Epidemiological studies show that 90% of the cases occur in India. Though the government of India has employed many strategies for prevention and treatment of this disease, resistance to the DDT and also drugs has posed a major challenge. Understanding of the physiology of the parasite and also identification of unique drug targets in the parasite can be a major break-through in this area of science. Iyer et al. have made a big effort in this process. Leishmania donovani the causative agent of Leishmaniasis utilizes a unique pathway present only in the parasite to detoxify the free radicals generated by the host macrophages. Iyer et al. have shown that tryparedoxin peroxidase is the key enzyme in this pathway. This article shows that tryparedoxin peroxidase is required for the parasite’s survival and virulence. Hence this can be a unique and an excellent target for treating Leishmaniasis.

      Relying on relativistic coupled-cluster theory, this research has considered single, double, triple excitations state of Barium ion and provides an independent nonaccelerator test of the standard model of particle physics.
