Standing in the middle of her messy office on the third level of Ranga Shankara, Bangalore, thespian Arundhati Nag gets ready to clear up some space, promising that my questions will get her undivided attention.

It was a sample that came when the theatre, a prized landmark of the city, was being built around a decade back. Her office is tucked away in a corner, away from the bustle of rehearsals and ticket counters in Ranga Shankara.

But she says she likes to watch who is coming into the theatre, or at least hear the rehearsals from the corridors, and spends little time in the office. It may be by amateurs or professionals, in regional languages or in English. Nag was born in Delhi, but her family moved to Mumbai when she was Acting and drama came naturally to her. Her grandmother ruled that a Brahmin girl will not be seen on stage, so at the age of 4, she performed from behind the curtains," she says.

At 17, when her acting talents were just about taking shape, she met Shankar Nag, the acclaimed Kannada actor, through theatre. Her family moved to Mumbai when she was At 17, she met Shankar Nag , also a theatre artist.

Six years later, the two got married and moved to Bangalore. Shankar became a well-known film actor, and later a director, most remembered for his TV adaptation of R. Narayan 's Malgudi Days They had a daughter together, Kaavya. In , Shankar died in a car accident.

The Nag Lab is trying to optimize the motifs of known linear peptides, as complexes with metals, for efficiency as water oxidation catalysts. Future work will involve development of unique macrocycle —metal or organic ligand - metal catalytic centers as catalysts for homogeneous and heterogeneous water oxidation and carbon dioxide reactions.

Building on our previous research on selective recognition of phospho-serine and phosphorylated proteins, we plan to develop macrocyclic reagents for recognition of phosphate containing biological small molecules.

Selective recognition will involve not only the phosphate moiety sensing but also unique sensing of other parts of the small molecule. Unique elements in the macrocycles will enable phosphate recognition while amino acid components of the macrocycle will allow selective recognition of the small molecule. Borges A.
