metabolizing enzymes. Beside this, Centre provides various
facilities for M.Sc and B.Tech students belonging to different
institute of northern India for completing their research
project i.e. In silico studies of different industrially
important microbial and plant enzymes. Centre has recently
installed sequence & molecular modeling software for
detailed In-silico analysis of various bioinformatical
problems.
