  2. 1. Simulation of radiation damage in Fe and Fe-Cr

    Author : Christina Lagerstedt; Jan Wallenius; Cristophe Domain; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Steel is an important structural material in nuclear reactors used for example in pressure vessels and fast reactor cladding. In reactor environments it has been observed that ferritic steels are more resistant to swelling than the austenitic steels typically used. READ MORE

  4. 2. The relationship between orthology, protein domain architecture and protein function

    Author : Kristoffer Forslund; Erik Sonnhammer; Cristina Al-Khalili Szigyarto; Sarah Teichmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homology; orthology; paralogy; gene duplications; protein function prediction; low-complexity regions; protein domains; domain architecture evolution; introns; intron position conservation; orthology conjecture; domain grammar hypothesis; biokemi; inriktning teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry with Emphasis on Theoretical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Lacking experimental data, protein function is often predicted from evolutionary and protein structure theory. Under the 'domain grammar' hypothesis the function of a protein follows from the domains it encodes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Proteoglycan Lectin Domain Interactions in Extracellular Matrix Assembly

    Author : Anders Olin; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicinska vetenskaper allmänt ; General biomedical sciences; crystal structure; network formation; collagen IX; N-glycans; PRELP; cross-linking; fibulin-2; lectin; G3; ECM; proteoglycan;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the C-terminal G3 region of the large aggregating proteoglycans that are found in complex with hyaluronan in the extracellular matrix. The G3 region contains a C-type lectin domain that binds different extracellular matrix proteins playing an integral role in tissue organization during development and remodeling. READ MORE

  6. 4. Responding Model Membranes. Lipid Phase Behaviour, Domain Formation and Permeability

    Author : Emma Sparr; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water and solute flux; Gradients; Monolayer; Two-dimensional crystals; Line activiy; Osmotic stress; Interlamellar forces; Phospholipid-cholesterol interactions; Phase transitions; Bilayer stack; Stratum corneum; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the interplay between the lipid phase behaviour, domain formation and the permeability of bilayer membranes. An essential part of this work has been the understanding of the phase transitions and equilibrium properties of lipid bilayers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Influenza Neuraminidase : Novel mechanisms of influenza NA that enable adaptation and promote diversification

    Author : Hao Wang; Robert Daniels; Colin Russell; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Influenza; IAV; neuraminidase; transmembrane domain; the central Ca2 binding site; heterotetrameric formation; viral incorporation; evolution; adaptation; diversification; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are one of the most common human respiratory pathogens and are largely responsible for the seasonal influenza epidemics that cause mild to severe disease. The two IAV glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA or H) and neuraminidase (NA or N), serve as the major surface antigens and also are the main determinants of infectivity, pathogenicity and transmissibility.
