2. 1. CO2 activation for methanol synthesis on copper and indium oxide surfaces

   Author : Alvaro Posada Borbon; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Methanol conversion; Heterogeneous catalysis; Density functional theory; Copper surface; Indium oxide​​; CO2 reduction;

   Abstract : Catalytic recycling of CO2 to added-value chemicals, such as methanol (CH3OH), has been proposed as a possible way for sustainable production of fuel and chemicals, in addition to providing a route to mitigate climate change. Multiple systems are known to be active for the conversion of CO2 to methanol, and the state of the art catalyst is Cu/ZnO/Al2O3. READ MORE

4. 2. Quantum Chemical Studies of Protein-Bound Chromophores, UV-Light Induced DNA Damages, and Lignin Formation

   Author : Bo Durbeej; Leif Eriksson; Tim Clark; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum chemistry; quantum chemistry; calculations; density functional theory; excited states; photochemistry; chromophores; absorption spectra; bathochromic shift; isomerization; UV radiation; DNA damages; cycloaddition reactions; photoenzymic repair; electron transfer; lignin; polymerization; phenoxy radicals; dilignols; Kvantkemi; Quantum chemistry; Kvantkemi;

   Abstract : Quantum chemical methods have been used to provide a better understanding of the photochemistry of astaxanthin and phytochromobilin; the photoenzymic repair of UV-light induced DNA damages; and the formation of lignin. The carotenoid astaxanthin (AXT) is responsible for the colouration of lobster shell. READ MORE

5. 3. Computational Analysis of Carbohydrates : Dynamical Properties and Interactions

   Author : Robert Eklund; Göran Widmalm; Sören B. Engelsen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbohydrate; DFT; ab initio; docking calculations; Molecular dynamics; Langevin Dynaimcs; structure analysis; carbohydrate-protein interaction; Chemical shift calculations; Spin spin coupling constants.; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

   Abstract : In this thesis a computational complement to experimental observables will be presented. Computational tools such as molecular dynamics and quantum chemical tools will be used to aid in the interpretation of experimentally (NMR) obtained structural data. READ MORE

6. 4. Methanation of biosyngas in a fluidized bed reactor

   Author : Martin Seemann; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENERGY TECHNOLOGY; REGENERATIVE ENERGIES; GASIFICATION OF WOOD; FLUIDIZED BED PROCESSES; CHEMICAL ENGINEERING; FUEL TECHNOLOGY; ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES; METHANATION OF HYDROGEN-CARBONMONOXIDE MIXTURES; SYNTHETIC FUELS; NATURAL GAS; BIOGASES;

   Abstract : Rising prices for fossil fuels and concerns over the climate change increase the interest in renewable energies. Synthetic natural gas (SNG) can be an option, filling the request for alternatives in the transportation sector, where the dependence on the oil is very strong. READ MORE

7. 5. NMR as a tool in drug research : Structure elucidation of peptidomimetics and pilicide-chaperone complexes

   Author : Mattias Hedenström; Jan Jan Kihlberg; Ingmar Sethson; Michael P. Williamson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; NMR; structure calculations; peptidomimetics; desmopressin; Leu-enkephalin; chemical shift mapping; pilicides; chaperones; urinary tract infections.; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : In the last decades NMR spectroscopy has become an invaluable tool both in academic research and in the pharmaceutical industry. This thesis describes applications of NMR spectroscopy in biomedicinal research for structure elucidation of biologically active peptides and peptidomimetics as well as in studies of ligand-protein interactions.
