Kabita Sharma

Kabita Sharma is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Texas, USA. Her research focuses on understanding protein degradation mediated by PROTAC (Proteolysis-Targeting Chimera) molecules and on exploring their potential for targeted protein degradation to treat diseases such as cancer. Through this work, she aims to advance drug discovery by targeting previously inaccessible or undruggable sites where PROTAC molecules can operate effectively. Additionally, she is analyzing how the buried surface area of proteins affects their binding and unbinding affinities. Using computational tools, she explores the challenges of removing one infected protein from another during treatment. Driven by a passion for solving complex scientific challenges, Kabita uses her knowledge in chemistry, chemical biology, and computational tools to advance her research. Beyond her academic pursuits, she aspires to inspire others toward science and its wonders through writing and sharing her knowledge.

Hydrocarbons: Classification, Properties, Uses, Toxicity

by
Hydrocarbon

Hydrocarbons are organic chemical compounds entirely made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbons are naturally occurring substances that serve as the foundation for crude oil, natural gas, coal, and other vital energy sources. They are highly combustible, emitting carbon dioxide, water, and heat … Read more

Tautomerism: Condition, Features, Types,

by
Tautomerism

Tautomerism is the existence of two or more chemical compounds that are easily interconvertible, frequently by simply exchanging one hydrogen atom for another between two other atoms, to either of which it forms a covalent connection. Tautomerism refers to the rapid … Read more
