  2. 1. Combinatorial Methodology. Screening for affinity specific ligands to biological and artificial receptors

    Author : Margareta Krook; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; peptide library; combinatorial; screening; phage display; affinity; DNA-interaction; chymotrypsin; peptide inhibitor; antibody; IgG; Fc; molecular imprinting; steroid; receptor; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Combinatorial screening methodology has been employed to select new affinity specific ligands to bilogical and artificial receptors. The screening methodology, in particular screening of combinatorial phage display peptide libraries against target molecules differing in function and shape, is focused upon. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulation of the hepatic ACAT2 expression and roles of HNF1alhpa and HNF4alpha in cholesterol metabolism

    Author : Camilla Pramfalk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ACAT2; HNF; MODY; NPC1L1; SREBP; cholesterol metabolism;

    Abstract : Acyl-Coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) 1 and 2 are integral membrane proteins located in rough endoplasmatic reticulum that catalyzes the formation of cholesteryl esters (CEs) from cholesterol and long-chain fatty acids. ACAT1 is present in most tissues, whereas ACAT2 is confined to enterocytes and hepatocytes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Functional studies on the Light-harvesting-Like (LiL) Proteins in Cyanobacteria and Cryptophytes

    Author : Tania Tibiletti; Christiane Funk; Martin Hagemann; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Photosynthesis; cyanobacteria; Guillardia theta; photosystem II; chlorophyll-binding proteins; onehelix LiL proteins; photoprotection; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The light-harvesting like (LiL) proteins are a widely spread group of proteins within photosynthetic organisms. They are membrane proteins composed of one to four transmembrane helices and – in homology to the light-harvesting complexes of algae and higher plants – at least one of these transmembrane helices contains the chlorophyll a/b-binding (CAB) domain.

  6. 4. The complement system in stherosclerosis and arthritis

    Author : Linda Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : complement; C3; factor B; ASP; atherosclerosis; hyperlipidemia; arthritis;

    Abstract : The complement system plays an essential role in the humoral immune response. Activated complement has diverse functions, including the initiation of inflammation, recruitment of leukocytes, clearance of immune complexes, neutralization of pathogens, regulation of antibody responses and disruption of cell membranes.

  7. 5. Between two lungs : proteomic and metabolomic approaches in inflammatory lung diseases

    Author : Tina Heyder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis presents results on proteomic and metabolomic profiling of two distinct inflammatory lung diseases: sarcoidosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic inflammatory lung diseases are debilitating conditions representing a major health problem throughout the world. READ MORE
