Preface
I have been fortunate to start my graduate research in biochemistry/biophysics with an excellent biochemist/biophysicist. My introduction to research started with basic knowledge of chemistry which helped in my graduate days to connect with biochemistry. Knowledge of basic chemistry helped me to understand biochemistry in better ways. When I started working with Dr. Bal Ram Singh, I did not have any clue what biochemistry is. But, I learned many aspects of biochemistry during my Ph.D. days. I am, of course, most indebted to my research supervisor, Dr. Bal Ram Singh, who has proved to be a good mentor and human being. Supervisor and student are always said to be the analogue of master and apprentice, and I believe Dr. Singh and I complemented this aspect very well. Also, in building theoretical knowledge, discussion with Dr. Valeri Barsegov (an expert in theoretical biochemistry) helped me very much to clarify several ideas. Finally, I gratefully recognize the Institute of Advanced Sciences for supporting me with financial and r
