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.

Racemic modification

Racemic modification is the mixture of two enantiomers, substances with mirror-image or dissymmetric chemical structures in equal amounts. Racemic modification refers to the equimolar mixture of two enantiomers. It is also known as recemic mixture or racemate. Each enantiomer rotates the plane of … Read more

Stereoisomerism

Stereochemistry is the branch of science that deals with the structure in three dimensions. Stereochemistry is the study of stereoisomers and covers the entire spectrum of chemical, 3dinorganic, biological, physical, and especially supramolecular chemistry. At least one carbon sp3- hybridized … Read more

Theories of the mechanism of catalysis

by
Mechanism of catalysis

There is no universal mechanism or explanation for the occurrence of catalytic reactions because they are so diverse. Several hypotheses have frequently been put forward to explain the mechanism of catalysis, but none of them are comprehensive enough to explain … Read more
