2. 1. Phospholipid membranes in biosensor applications : Stability, activity and kinetics of reconstituted proteins and glycolipids in supported membranes

   Author : Inga Gustafson; Gertrud Puu; Sven Lindskog; Peter Konradsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Phospholipid films; Liposomes; Membrane proteins; Glycolipids; Ellipsometry; Langmuir Blodgett LB ; Surface plasmon resonance SPR ; Resonant mirror RM ; Atomic force microscopy AFM ; Biosensors; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : In this study the formation of supported membranes onto planar solid supports has been investigated. The stability and activity of reconstituted membrane receptors has been studied. The potential use of such preparations in biosensor applications is discussed.The lipid films were made by the Langmuir Blodgett and by the liposome fusion techniques. READ MORE

4. 2. Advances in Soft Matter Nanofabrication

   Author : Mehrnaz Shaali; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; photolithography; negative e-beam resist; monolayer; confocal microscopy; Teflon AF; KPFM; DNA origami; cells; lipid nanotube; AFM; double bilayer; Phospholipid; electron beam lithography;

   Abstract : The focus of this thesis is placed on the fabrication of engineered nanodevices for the manipulation of soft matter thin films. By combining top-down micro- and nanofabrication approaches with bottom-up self-assembly strategies, new research platforms were developed, tested and characterized. READ MORE

5. 3. Self-doped Conjugated Polyelectrolytes for Bioelectronics Applications

   Author : Erica Zeglio; Olle Inganäs; George Malliaras; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Self-doped conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) are a class of conducting polymers constituted of a π-conjugated backbone and charged side groups. The ionic groups provide the counterions needed to balance the charged species formed in the CPEs backbones upon oxidation. READ MORE

6. 4. Inactivation of pulmonary surfactant and its prevention

   Author : Guido Stichtenoth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Pulmonary surfactant is a lipoprotein complex coating the conducting airways down to the terminal airspaces. Its main function is to lower surface tension at the air liquid interface thus preventing alveolar collapse at end expiration. READ MORE

7. 5. Processing, stability and interactions of lung surfactant protein C

   Author : Jing Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Mature SP-C is a 4.2 kDa transmembrane protein which is uniquely expressed in the alveolar type II cell. Human SP-C is generated via multistep proteolytic cleavage of both the C-terminal and Nterminal regions of proSP-C. READ MORE
