  4. 2. Protein Folding, Binding and Evolution : PDZ domains and paralemmins as model systems

    Author : Greta Hultqvist; Per Jemth; Ruth Nussinov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein folding; evolution; binding; allostery; Paralemmin; PDZ domain;

    Abstract : Proteins present at the synapse need to be multitasking in order to perform all vital functions in this limited space. In this thesis I have analyzed the function and evolution of such proteins, focusing on the PDZ domain and the paralemmin family. The PDZ domains bind to a wide variety of interaction partners.

  5. 3. Evolution and Binding Mechanisms of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

    Author : Elin Karlsson; Per Jemth; Kaare Teilum; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intrinsically disordered proteins; Protein evolution; Binding kinetics; Binding mechanisms; Biophysical characterisation; Medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) make up a considerable fraction of the proteome in eukaryotic organisms. These proteins often act as hubs in interaction networks, harbouring multiple interaction with other proteins, and thus evolution has to walk a tightrope to accommodate new interactions while maintaining the previously established interactions.

  6. 4. Advances in Ligand Binding Predictions using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Author : Henrik Keränen; Johan Åqvist; Jordi Villà i Freixa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free-energy perturbation; molecular dynamics; ligand binding; free-energy perturbation; linear interaction energy; binding free-energy; homology modeling; virtual screening; alanine scanning; amino acid mutagenesis; hERG; GPCR; adenosine receptor; serotonin receptor; BRICHOS; cruzain;

    Abstract : Biochemical processes all involve associations and dissociations of chemical entities. Understanding these is of substantial importance for many modern pharmaceutical applications. In this thesis, longstanding problems with regard to ligand binding are treated with computational methods, applied to proteins of key pharmaceutical importance. READ MORE

  7. 5. Reaction mechanism of metalloenzymes studied by theoretical methods

    Author : Geng Dong; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : Metalloenzymes; Reaction mechanism; QM MM; DFT; DMRG; CAS-srDFT; Big-QM; QTCP;

    Abstract : Metalloenzymes catalyse a wide variety of reactions in nature. In the thesis, I have studied the reaction mechanism of three metalloenzymes, viz. READ MORE
