1. Selenoproteins in the Bovine Mammary Gland. Regulation of mRNA and Protein Expression
University dissertation from Pure and Applied Biochemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : Selenium is a micronutrient that is essential for many important life processes due to the action of the specific selenoproteins containing one or more of the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine. Twenty-five selenoprotein genes have been found in the human genome but the function of many of them is not yet known. READ MORE

2. Selenium Compounds in Milk. Studies of Selenoproteins, Selenium Enrichment and Oxidative Stability of Food
University dissertation from Pure and Applied Biochemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : Selenium is an essential nutrient and in animals and humans it can either be specifically incorporated into proteins as selenocysteine or randomly as selenomethionine. It can also occur as low-molecular-weight compounds and the form of selenium in foods may also influence food quality. READ MORE

3. Combinatorial Methodology. Screening for affinity specific ligands to biological and artificial receptors
University dissertation from Pure and Applied Biochemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : Combinatorial screening methodology has been employed to select new affinity specific ligands to bilogical and artificial receptors. The screening methodology, in particular screening of combinatorial phage display peptide libraries against target molecules differing in function and shape, is focused upon. READ MORE

4. Beta-Lactamase in Haemophilus ducreyi: Purification, Characterization, and Mutagenesis
University dissertation from Pure and Applied Biochemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : Chancroid caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, has been described as a significantly predisposing factor of HIV heterosexual transmission in an endemic region of both diseases. Antibiotic resistances are extensively found in H. ducreyi and many of the resistances are due to the presence of resistance plasmids. READ MORE

5. Biotic and abiotic stress in microorganisms and plants: Some Mechanisms of Stress and Programmed Cell Death. Genetic Engineering Approaches Towards Improved Stress Tolerance
University dissertation from Pure and Applied Biochemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : Various forms of stress, such as biotic and abiotic stress, were studied in microorganisms and plants to learn more about the underlying mechanisms of such stress and potential genetic engineering strategies towards stress tolerance. An antifreeze protein from winter flounder, expressed in E. READ MORE
