  2. 1. Biochemical and Physiological Characterization of Nonsymbiotic Plant Hemoglobins

    Author : Nélida Leiva; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hemoglobin; Non-symbiotic hemoglobin; Sugar beet; Ligand binding; Nitric oxide; Gene expression; Gene overexpression; Poplar; Arabidopsis; Lepidium campestre.;

    Abstract : Hemoglobins (Hb) are usually associated with blood in humans. However, these proteins are widely distributed among living organisms. In plants the most known group are the leghemoglobins. Still, other Hbs that not participate in symbiosis are also found. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on Haemproteins of Gram-positive Bacteria - Implications as Antibacterial Drug Targets

    Author : Peter Kjelgaard; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; heme; Truncated hemoglobins; cytochrome c maturation; cytochrome bd; ResB; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : With the discovery of antibiotics, several diseases that were previously lethal is today readily cured, or so we thought. Some degree of resistance to one or several antibiotics can be found among many strains of clinical important bacteria. READ MORE

  5. 3. Phytoglobins: Elucidation of Structural, Functional and Practical Features of Non-Symbiotic Plant Hemoglobins

    Author : Simon Christensen; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hemoglobin; Fytoglobin; Hexakoordination; Karaktärisering; Protein design; Rekombinant protein production; Kromatografi; kristallografi; Dimerisering; Protein Dynamik;

    Abstract : Phytoglobins (Pgb) (plant hemoglobins) are heme-containing proteins and less well known in comparison to the mammalian counterparts hemoglobin (Hb) andmyoglobin (Mb). They share the same secondary structure as other globin-related proteins, six to eight α-helices comprising the myoglobin-fold (Mb-fold) with one prosthetic heme moiety per subunit. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vγ9Vδ2 T cells - response to P. falciparum-derived phosphoantigens and potential for use in colon cancer immunotherapy 

    Author : Chenxiao Liu; Ingela Parmryd; Susanna Cardell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Vγ9Vδ2 T cell is the dominant circulating γδ T cell subset in humans, can expand massively upon malaria infection and are cytotoxic to cancer cells. Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are stimulated by phosphoantigens, primarily isoprenoid pyrophosphates like isopentenyl pyrophosphate and (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP). READ MORE

  7. 5. Human Fetal Hemoglobin : Biochemical Characterization and Recombinant Production

    Author : Khuanpiroon Ratanasopa; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Blood substitutes; HBOCs; HbF; recombinant hemoglobin; pseudoperoxidase; ITC; haptoglobin;

    Abstract : Blood transfusion is a common medical procedure when oxygen supply in the body is impaired. However, blood transfusion is not always without risks. The uncontrolled spreading of blood borne pathogens such as HIV or hepatitis B and C virus has urged researchers to look for “blood substitutes”. READ MORE
