  2. 1. Neuron-to-neuron propagation of neurodegenerative proteins; relation to degradative systems

    Author : Jakob Domert; Martin Hallbeck; Jan Marcusson; Lars Tjernberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell-to-cell transfer; beta-amyloid; Alzheimer s disease; degradation; proteasome; alpha-synuclein; Parkinson s disease; high throughput screening model;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are defined by neurodegeneration and accumulations of misfolded proteins that spread through the brain in a well characterized manner. In AD these accumulations consist mainly of β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau, while in PD, α-synuclein (α-syn) make up the characteristic lewy pathology. READ MORE

  4. 2. Membrane-bound proteins : Characterization, evolution, and functional analysis

    Author : Misty M. Attwood; Helgi B. Schiöth; Arne Elofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transmembrane protein; alpha-helical membrane protein; evolution membrane proteins; 3TM; 4TM; 5TM; trispanin; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Alpha-helical transmembrane proteins are important components of many essential cell processes including signal transduction, transport of molecules across membranes, protein and membrane trafficking, and structural and adhesion activities, amongst others. Their involvement in critical networks makes them the focus of interest in investigating disease pathways, as candidate drug targets, and in evolutionary analyses to identify homologous protein families and possible functional activities.

  5. 3. Molecular-dynamics simulations of polymeric surfaces for biomolecular applications

    Author : Stela Andrea Muntean; M.A.J. Michels; M.W.J. Prins; A.V. Lyulin; Technische Universiteit Eindhoven; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polystyrenes; Molecular Dynamics; Computer Simulation; Water; Molecules; Atoms; Hydrophilicity; Biosensors; Myoglobin; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : In-vitro diagnostics plays a very important role in the present healthcare system. It consists of a large variety of medical devices designed to diagnose a medical condition by measuring a target molecule in a sample, such as blood or urine. READ MORE

  6. 4. Theoretical studies of blue copper proteins

    Author : Mats H M Olsson; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum chemistry; metal-thiolate bonds; axial ligation; electron transfer proteins; reduction potential; reorganisation energy; Cu II ; Cu I ; strain; Induced-rack theory; Entatic state theory; cytochrome c oxidase; CuA; nitrite reductase; azurin; Blue copper proteins; plastocyanin; B3LYP; CASPT2; Soil Science; agricultural hydrology; Lantbrukshydrologi; marklära;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a critical investigation is presented about the role of mechanical strain for the electron-transfer properties of the blue copper proteins. It has been found that the structure of a realistic model complex of the oxidised blue-copper active site, optimised in vacuum with the B3LYP method, has the same trigonal cupric geometry as in the protein.
