    1. Investigation of protein-carbohydrate interactions in diseased condition :How the conformational flexibility of a tri-antennary sialoglycan moiety have an impact in impeding of antibiotic entry through the channel of OprD protein, highlighting an alternative mechanism of emerging antibiotics resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.2. A data-mining approach to understand the unusual protein glycosylation that occurs beyond the conventional Asn-X-Ser/Thr motif and other non-canonical sites in diseased conditions.
