  2. 1. Exploring the structure of oligo- and polysaccharides : Synthesis and NMR spectroscopy studies

    Author : Hanna Jonsson; Göran Widmalm; Antonio Molinaro; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbohydrates; NMR spectroscopy; synthesis; lipopolysaccharides; conformational studies; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : A deeper understanding of the diversity of carbohydrates and the many applications of oligo- and polysaccharides found in nature are of high interest. Many of the processes involving carbohydrates affect our everyday life. This thesis is based on six papers all contributing to an extended perspective of carbohydrate property and functionality.

  4. 2. Synthesis and analysis of carbohydrates related to bacterial polysaccharides

    Author : Hani Mobarak; Göran Widmalm; Ulf Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbohydrates; synthesis; conformation; NMR; O-antigen; computer-assisted structure elucidation; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

    Abstract : The outer surface of bacteria is composed of around 75% carbohydrates, which are vital for the bacteria to survive and communicate with the host biological system. The thesis discusses different properties of carbohydrates that are essential for understanding the bacterial behavior in biological systems. READ MORE

    Abstract : Galectins, a lectin family, have shown binding affinities towards b-galactosides. Galectins have been proposed to be involved in a wide range of functions like for example, cell growth, adhesion, migration, chemo taxis and apoptosis. They have also been associated with various cancer types. READ MORE

    Abstract : The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is a Gram negative bacterium which may cause diseases such as peptic ulceration and gastric adenocarcinoma. It colonises a host by attaching to the gastric epithelial cells, an attachment mediated by outer membrane proteins on the bacterial surface, e.g, the blood group antigen binding adhesin, BabA.
