2. 1. Towards Classification and Functional Description of Enzymes: A case study of feruloyl esterases

   Author : Gupta Udatha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; descriptors; enzyme immobilization; catalytic triad; pharmacophore; enzyme promiscuity; functional classification; molecular docking; feruloyl esterases; protein evolution; structure-function relationship;

   Abstract : The prediction of enzyme functionality from sequence or structure data remains a challenging task that can be best addressed by studying the structure-function relationships determined from previously available information. This thesis work was focused on developing a reliable classification and functional description for the feruloyl esterase (FAE) enzyme family, whose members’ possess both structural and catalytic promiscuity.

4. 2. Molecular methods for microbial ecology : Developments, applications and results

   Author : Lucas Sinclair; Alexander Eiler; Josh Neufeld; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; microbiology; metagenomics; ecology; metabolism; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics;

   Abstract : Recent developments in DNA sequencing technology allow the study of microbial ecology at unmatched detail. To fully embrace this revolution, an important avenue of research is the development of bioinformatic tools that enable scientists to leverage and manipulate the exceedingly large amounts of data produced.

   Abstract : Proteomics is evolving as a multi-faceted tool for addressing various biochemical and biomedical queries in the field of scientific research. This involves various stages, ranging from sample preparation to data analysis and biological interpretation. READ MORE

6. 4. Human Fetal Hemoglobin : Biochemical Characterization and Recombinant Production

   Author : Khuanpiroon Ratanasopa; Tillämpad biokemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Blood substitutes; HBOCs; HbF; recombinant hemoglobin; pseudoperoxidase; ITC; haptoglobin;

   Abstract : Blood transfusion is a common medical procedure when oxygen supply in the body is impaired. However, blood transfusion is not always without risks. The uncontrolled spreading of blood borne pathogens such as HIV or hepatitis B and C virus has urged researchers to look for “blood substitutes”. READ MORE

7. 5. Functional studies of E. coli ribosomes and characterization of mini open reading frames
