  The research involved isolation of metagenomic DNA from a soil sample from The Upper Lake in Bhopal. Using this isolated DNA as the template, a standardized PCR was obtained after repeated reactions to amplify the RecA gene. The gene was then cloned, isolated and later sequenced to find homology with its variants in other organisms The research involved isolation of metagenomic DNA from a soil sample from The Upper Lake in Bhopal.

• Homology modeling and docking studies

  • Jul 2012 - Nov 2012

  The project was aimed at structural investigation of the enzyme from Sphingobium species of bacteria that is involved in the degradation of cis-3-phenylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol and NAD+. Such oxidoreductases catalyze the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another the oxidant and act specifically on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
