  2. 1. ZrN based Nanostructured Hard Coatings : Structure-Property Relationship

    Author : Phani Kumar Yalamanchili; Magnus Odén; Naureen Ghafoor; Emilio Jiménez-Piqué; Jon Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ever since the hard coatings have been introduced, there has been a constant push for better mechanical properties, which motivates for deeper understanding of the microstructure-mechanical properties correlation. The aim of this thesis is to extend the knowledge on how microstructural variation influences the deformation, fracture and wear behavior of ZrN based nanostructured coatings. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the effects of structure and function on protein evolution

    Author : Kristoffer Illergård; Arne Elofsson; Nir Ben-Tal; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein; structure; function; evolution; membrane; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Many proteins can be described as working machines that make sure that everything functions in the cell. Their specific molecular functions are largely dependent on their three-dimensional structures, which in turn are mainly predetermined by their linear sequences of amino acid residues. READ MORE

  5. 3. Protein structure prediction : Zinc-binding sites, one-dimensional structure and remote homology

    Author : Nanjiang Shu; Sven Hovmöller; Bruce Donald; Geoff Barton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein structure prediction; zinc-binding; profile; homology detection; shape string; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Structural Chemistry; strukturkemi;

    Abstract : Predicting the three-dimensional (3D) structure of proteins is a central problem in biology. These computationally predicted 3D protein structures have been successfully applied in many fields of biomedicine, e.g. family assignments and drug discovery. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the structure-function relationship of p73

    Author : Ulrika Nyman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The development of multicellular organisms requires a balance between the cellular processes of proliferation, differentiation and death. These processes are important throughout the whole life of the organism. Daily, the DNA in our cells is under attack by agents that can cause damage. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structure and function of relaxins

    Author : Linda M. Haugaard-Kedström; Johan Rosengren; Torleif Härd; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; relaxin; insulin-like peptide; peptide hormone; peptide synthesis and NMR; Organic Chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : The relaxin/insulin superfamily is a group of peptide hormones that consists of ten members in human, namely relaxins 1-3, insulin-like peptides (INSL) 3-6, insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) I-II. These peptides have various functions in the body, such as regulating growth, blood glucose levels,  collagen metabolism, germ cell maturation and appetite. READ MORE
