  2. 1. Chemical genetics discloses the importance of heme and glucose metabolism in Chlamydia trachomatis pathogenesis

    Author : Patrik Engström; Sven Bergström; Ted Hackstadt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Chlamydiae; heme metabolism; glucose metabolism; glucose-6-phosphate; RB-to-EB transition; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Chlamydiae are important human bacterial pathogens with an intracellular life cycle that consists of two distinct bacterial forms, an infectious form (EB) that infects the eukaryotic host cell, and a non-infectious form (RB) that allows intracellular proliferation. To be successful, chlamydiae need to alternate between EB and RB to generate infectious EB’s which are competent to infect new host cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. Malaria on islands : human and parasite diversities and implications for malaria control in Vanuatu

    Author : Akira Kaneko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; Plasmodium vivax; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency; CYP2C19; dihydrofolate reductase; cycloguanil; proguanil; mass drug administration; diversity; island; Vanuatu; Pacific;

    Abstract : The genetic diversities displayed by human and malaria parasites at different frequencies in different geographical areas represent a major obstacle for the development of malaria control strategies including malaria chemotherapy and malaria vaccine. We investigated some genetic diversities on Vanuatu islands with various malaria endemicities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Oscillatory phenomena in chloroplasts from spinach cotyledons

    Author : Gertrud Puu; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : A suspensionofchloroplasts, isolated from spinach cotyledons, was found to be an oscillatory system, i.e. a system in which one parameter (or more) varies over time in a fairly regular way.The oscillations, with a period of fifteen to twenty minutes,occured spontaneously in the light as well as in the dark and were self-sustained for several hours.

  7. 5. Regulation of energy metabolism in tumor cells : the role of hexokinase

    Author : Firoz Kabir; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neoplasms; metabolism;

    Abstract : Changes in glucose metabolism are among the most universal andfundamental metabolic alterations observed in cancer cells. Hexokinase isthe initial regulatory enzyme which controls the rate of glucose entranceinto the glycolytic pathway. The content of hexokinase in tumor cells iselevated, and most of the enzyme is bound to mitochondria. READ MORE
