2. 1. Interaction engineered three-helix bundle domains for protein recovery and detection

   Author : Tove Alm; Sophia Hober; Rainer Hahn; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ABD; Zbasic; albumin; protein engineering; phage display; staphylococcal display; inclusion bodies; refolding; proteomics; orthogonal affinity purification; Bioengineering; Bioteknik; Immunology engineering; Immunteknik;

   Abstract : HTML clipboard The great advances in DNA technology, e.g. sequencing and recombinant DNA techniques, have given us the genetic information and the tools needed to effectively produce recombinant proteins. Recombinant proteins are valuable means in biotechnological applications and are also emerging as alternatives in therapeutic applications. READ MORE

4. 2. Physical Modeling of Protein Folding

   Author : Stefan Wallin; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; relativity; quantum mechanics; classical mechanics; three-helix bundle; similarity measure; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; protein dynamics; protein folding; two-state; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; thermodynamics; statistical physics; gravitation; klassisk mekanik; kvantmekanik; relativitet; statistisk fysik; termodynamik; Fysicumarkivet A:2003:Wallin;

   Abstract : Sequence-based models for protein folding are developed and tested on peptides with both alpha- and beta-structure, and on small three-helix-bundle proteins. The interaction potentials of the models are minimalistic and based mainly on hydrogen bonding and effective hydrophobicity forces. READ MORE

5. 3. NMR Studies of Bacterial Albumin-Binding Modules

   Author : Maria U Johansson; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; Physical chemistry; three-helix bundle; protein structure; protein PAB; protein-protein interactions; protein G; protein dynamics; NMR; module shuffling; GA module; evolution; albumin-binding; bacterial surface proteins;

   Abstract : Peptostreptococcus magnus and group C/G streptococci are Gram-positive cocci that are part of the normal flora and reside in more or less the same locations in the host. Protein G of group C/G streptococci was originally described as binding IgGFc of several species and later shown to also bind human serum albumin and albumins from various animal species. READ MORE

6. 4. Exploring amino-acid radicals and quinone redox chemistry in model proteins

   Author : Kristina Westerlund; Cecilia Tommos; Astrid Gräslund; Sara Linse; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amino-acid radicals; quinone redox chemistry; model proteins; protein redesign; electrochemistry; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : Amino-acid radical enzymes have been studied extensively for 30 years but the experimental barriers to determine the thermodynamic properties of their key radical cofactors are so challenging that only a handful of reports exist in the literature. This is a major drawback when trying to understand the long-range radical transfer and/or catalytic mechanisms of this important family of enzymes. READ MORE

7. 5. Structural and thermodynamical basis for molecular recognition between engineered binding proteins

   Author : Jakob Dogan; Per-Åke Nygren; John E. Ladbury; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; protein structure; induced fit; binding thermodynamics; NMR spectroscopy; protein engineering; protein-protein interactions; protein stability; calorimetry; Structural biochemistry; Strukturbiokemi;

   Abstract : The structural determination of interacting proteins, both as individual proteins and in their complex, complemented by thermodynamical studies are vital in order to gain in-depth insights of the phenomena leading to the highly selective protein-protein interactions characteristic of numerous life processes. This thesis describes an investigation of the structural and thermodynamical basis for molecular recognition in two different protein-protein complexes, formed between so-called affibody proteins and their respective targets.
