  2. 1. Protein Interactions: Electrostatics and Ligand Binding

    Author : Ingemar André; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik; secondary structure formation; protein GB1; pKa values; pH stability; NMR; electrostatic interactions; M proteins; calbindin D9k; calcium binding; cooperativity; calmodulin; calbindin D28k;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with Ca2+ binding to proteins, electrostatic interactions in and between proteins as well as inter- and intramolecular interactions. A computer program was developed to determine Ca2+ binding constants from experimental titration data of proteins. READ MORE

  4. 2. Perplexing Protein Puzzles

    Author : Stina Lindman; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; calbindin D9k; split-GFP; protein G B1; pKa-values; protein reconstitution; Electrostatic interactions; protein stability; protein denaturation; heteronuclear NMR; pH titrations;

    Abstract : Protein structure and stability are inherent in the amino acid sequence and governed by non-covalent interactions. The cooperation between forces is, however, perplexing and not well understood. In order to elucidate and predict protein folding and stability, detailed studies of non-covalent interactions are required. READ MORE

  5. 3. Challenges in Computational Biochemistry: Solvation and Ligand Binding

    Author : Jens Carlsson; Johan Åqvist; Chris Reynolds; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular biology; computer simulations; molecular dynamics; solvation free energy; Generalized-Born; Poisson-Boltzmann; ligand binding; binding free energy; linear interaction energy; binding entropy; hydration entropy; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Accurate calculations of free energies for molecular association and solvation are important for the understanding of biochemical processes, and are useful in many pharmaceutical applications. In this thesis, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to calculate thermodynamic properties for solvation and ligand binding. READ MORE

  6. 4. Calibration of Ionization Chambers for Measuring Air Kerma Integrated over Beam Area in Diagnostic Radiology

    Author : Peter Larsson; Gudrun Alm Carlsson; Jan Persliden; Bertil Axelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; KAP-meter; DAP-meter; PKA; kerma area product; energy dependence; calibration; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

    Abstract : The air kerma area product PKA is an important quantity used by hospital physicists in quality assurance and optimization processes in diagnostic radiology and is recommended by national authorities for setting of diagnostic reference levels. PKA can be measured using a transmission ionization chamber (kerma area product (KAP) meter) mounted on the collimator housing. READ MORE

  7. 5. Some Aspects of Physicochemical Properties of DNA and RNA

    Author : Sandipta Acharya; Jyoti Chattopadhyaya; Piet Herdewijn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Bioorganic chemistry; nucleic acids; hydrogen-bonding; stacking; single-stranded; NMR; molecular dynamics; Bioorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on nine research publications (I – IX) on structure and reactivity of RNA vis-à-vis DNA. The DNA and RNA are made of flexible pentose sugar units, polyelectrolytic phosphodiester backbone, and heterocyclic nucleobases. DNA stores our genetic code, whereas RNA is involved both in protein biosynthesis and catalysis. READ MORE
