As a consequence, in the past fifty years, there has been a paradigm shift in our interpreting the life process. In the process, modern biology had acquired a truly interdisciplinary character in which all streams of sciences have made monumental contributions. Because of such rapid emergence as a premier subject of teaching and research; a necessity to restructure classical teachings in biology was recognised by the academics worldwide. In tune with such trends, the academic leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru University conceptualised the School of Life Sciences as an interdisciplinary research/teaching programme unifying various facets of biology while reflecting essential commonality regarding structure, function and evolution of biomolecules. The School was established in 1973 and since offering integrated teaching and research at M. Sc/ Ph.D level in various sub-disciplines in life sciences. Since inception, it remained dedicated to its core objectives and evolved to be one of the top such institutions in India and perhaps in South East Asia.

It was registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act on 24 April 1934. The Academy commenced functioning with 65 Fellows and the formal inauguration took place on 31 July 1934 at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. On the afternoon of that day its first general meeting of Fellows was held where Sir C.V. Raman was elected its President and the draft constitution of the Academy was approved and adopted. The first issue of the Academy Proceedings was published in July 1934. The present report covering the period from April 2007 to March 2008 represents the seventy-fourth year of the Academy.

IISc THESES ABSTRACTS Thesis Abstract (Ph.D.) X-ray crystallographic studies on the effect of chirality on amino acid aggregation by Jayashree Soman. Research supervisor: M. Vijayan. Department: Molecular Biophysics Unit. 1. Introduction A programme of systematic X-ray studies on aystalline complexes involving amino acids and peptides is currently under way in this laboratory1. These studies, apart from providing a wealth of information on non-covalent interactions which play a crucial role In the structure, function and assembly of protems, have resulted in a detailed understanding of different weU-defmed patterns of amino acid and peptide aggregation. In particular, n has been shown that head-to-tal sequences, in which the a- or terminal amino and carboxylate groups are brought into period~chydrogen-bonded proximity ~n a polypeptide-like arranqement, are an almost universal feature of amino acid and ..peutide agmegation.--- These sequences assume characteristic geometries and could form the basis for predicting crystalline patterns. These patterns have been shown to be such as to facilitate non-enzvmats condensation into .~eptides . during chemical evolution. Chirality 1s another factor that needs to be taken into account in studies on chemeal evolution and the work rcuorted here is particularlv concerned with the effect of chiralitv on amino ac~daanreeation -- - and its possible relevance to chemcal evolution. Although the X-ray analysis of two binary complexes containing amino acids of mured chirality, namely, L-arginine D-glutamate trihydrate and Larginine D-as- paaate has provided interesting insights into the effects of charility on molecular aggregation', more com- plexes involving D as well as L amino acids need to be analysed before firm conclusions can be drawn regarding chiral effects.

  • Chandru's Inordinate Fondness for Insects
    More Fun Than Fun: Chandru’s Inordinate Fondness for Insects 28/04/2021 Krishnappa Chandrashekara delivering a lecture during the ‘Being Social’ symposium organised by the author’s students in June 2013 at the Centre for Ecological Sciences, IISc. Photo: RG Lab Collection This article is part of the ‘More Fun Than Fun‘ column by Prof Raghavendra Gadagkar. He will explore interesting research papers or books and, while placing them in context, make them accessible to a wide readership. RAGHAVENDRA GADAGKAR The evolutionary biologist and polymath J.B.S. Haldane is said to have remarked that “The universe is not only queerer than we imagine but queerer than we can imagine.” And one of those many queer things is that there are more species of beetles than any other kind of animal on our planet. This queer fact also apparently did not escape Haldane’s notice and repartee. Replying to theologians who inquired if there was anything that could be concluded about the Creator from the study of creation, Haldane is said to have quipped, “An inordinate fondness for beetles.” In his new biography, A Dominant Character: The Radical Science and Restless Politics of J.B.S. Haldane, Samanth Subramanian says no one can determine if Haldane really said so. “But, however apocryphal, the quip has never stopped sounding like him.” I might add that Haldane’s alleged quip has also never stopped tantalising biologists with an enduring mystery – whether for creation or evolution, why this inordinate fondness for beetles? If we consider all insects together, then, as Robert May has said, “To a good approximation, all species are insects”.
