  2. 6. On the mechanism of Urea-induced protein denaturation

    Author : Matteus Lindgren; Per-Olof Westlund; Arnold Maliniak; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical denaturation; Protein unfolding; urea; MD simulations; NMR spectroscopy; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : It is well known that folded proteins in water are destabilized by the addition of urea. When a protein loses its ability to perform its biological activity due to a change in its structure, it is said to denaturate. READ MORE

  4. 7. Optical characterization of potential drugs and drug delivery systems

    Author : Erik Rosenbaum; Lennart B-Å Johansson; Sven Engström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pilicide; Ganglioside GM1 micelles; Drug Delivery; Elecronic Energy Transfer; UV-Vis Absorption; Fluorescence Spectroscopy; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : This Thesis is a characterization study on substances having potency as drugs as well as on a lipid based drug-delivery matrix. The optical properties of newly synthesized molecules with proven pilicide properties have been characterized with several spectroscopic methods. READ MORE

  5. 8. NMR studies of protein dynamics and structure

    Author : Jörgen Ådén; Magnus Wolf-Watz; Michael Sattler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR; protein dynamics; relaxation; protein folding; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi; biokemi; Biochemistry; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Enzymes are extraordinary molecules that can accelerate chemical reactions by several orders of magnitude. With recent advancements in structural biology together with classical enzymology the mechanism of many enzymes has become understood at the molecular level. READ MORE

  6. 9. Modern Computational Physical Chemistry : An Introduction to Biomolecular Radiation Damage and Phototoxicity

    Author : Jorge Llano; Leif A. Eriksson; Ulf Ryde; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; statistical mechanics; biophysical chemistry; interface; surface thermodynamics; bioelectrochemistry; ionizing radiation; radiation therapy; condensed matter; computational chemistry; nucleic acids; radiation damage; electrode potential; electronic transport; photochemistry; strand break; photodynamic action; cytostatic; solvation; solvated electron; absolute potential; chemical potential; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The realm of molecular physical chemistry ranges from the structure of matter and the fundamental atomic and molecular interactions to the macroscopic properties and processes arising from the average microscopic behaviour.Herein, the conventional electrodic problem is recast into the simpler molecular problem of finding the electrochemical, real chemical, and chemical potentials of the species involved in redox half-reactions.

  7. 10. Condensation of DNA for Gene Delivery: Studies on Vector-Nucleic Acid Interactions and Transfection Efficiency

    Author : Kristina Fant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dendrimer; endocytosis; uptake; gene delivery; optical spectroscopy; structure-activity relationship; DNA; cell-penetrating peptide;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the delivery of nucleic acids into cells and tissues with the aim to change or correct gene expression. The field of gene delivery has the ultimate goal of producing genetic drugs for clinical applications, and the activity in this area is intense although so far the use is limited to research purposes.
