  2. 1. 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. 2. Lipases at interfaces

    Author : Pedro Reis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrolysis.; fat; microenvironment; depletion; surfactant; interface; Lipase; modulation; digestion; synthesis;

    Abstract : Lipases are acyl hydrolases that play a key role in fat digestion by cleaving long-chain triglycerides into polar lipids. Due to an opposite polarity between the enzyme (is hydrophilic) and their substrates (are lipophilic), the lipase reaction occurs at the interface between the aqueous and the oil phases. READ MORE

  5. 3. Rheological Behaviour of Biopolymer Gels in Relation to Structure

    Author : Mats Stading; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; particulate gels; fine-stranded gels; mixed gels; biopolymer gels; inhomogeneous gels; rheological properties; rheological behaviour;

    Abstract : The rheological behaviour of biopolymer gels with different network structures was studied to elucidate how the structure of the gel influences its rheological properties. Non-destructive viscoelastic measurements and fracture techniques were used. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Ultra-fast Biosensors for Detection of Non-electroactive Neurotransmitters

    Author : Yuanmo Wang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial cell; quantification; stability; deformation; dynamic light scattering; adsorption; amperometry; nanoparticle tracking analysis; enzyme monolayer; glucose oxidase; exocytosis; choline oxidase; acetylcholine; enzymatic activity; acetylcholine esterase; gold nanoparticles; Biosensor;

    Abstract : During neuronal communication neurotransmitters are released through the process exocytosis that occurs on the time scale of sub-milliseconds to milliseconds. Neuronal activity by neurotransmitters that are non-electroactive cannot easily be monitored due to limitations in the temporal resolutions of the sensor probes for these analytes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Perplexing Protein Puzzles

    Author : Stina Lindman; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; calbindin D9k; split-GFP; protein G B1; pKa-values; protein reconstitution; Electrostatic interactions; protein stability; protein denaturation; heteronuclear NMR; pH titrations;

    Abstract : Protein structure and stability are inherent in the amino acid sequence and governed by non-covalent interactions. The cooperation between forces is, however, perplexing and not well understood. In order to elucidate and predict protein folding and stability, detailed studies of non-covalent interactions are required. READ MORE
