Research Interest
The main research focus of the Laboratory is to study the biochemistry of the mechanoenzymes ATPases and the related protein-DNA and protein-protein interacting systems involved in the cellular activities like DNA replication and Protein degradation (ubiquitin-proteasome & Autophagy mediated) to understand the molecular mechanism of the associated threatening diseases.
