1. Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans Isomerases in the Chloroplast Thylakoid Lumen
Abstract : The Sun is the ultimate energy source on Earth. Photosynthetic organisms are able to catalyze the conversion of solar energy to chemical energy by a reaction called photosynthesis. In plants, this process occurs inside a green organelle called the chloroplast. READ MORE

2. Apoptotic mechanisms in the neonatal brain following hypoxia-ischemia
Abstract : Neonatal encephalopathy is often perinatally acquired and caused by hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Brain injury develops with a delay, over 12-48 hours, after the insult. Hypothermia, an established neuroprotective treatment, saves 1 infant in 9 from neurological deficits suggesting that there is room for further improvement. READ MORE

3. Calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition in CNS-derived mitochondria - Pharmacological aspects of specificity and toxicity in neuroprotection
Abstract : Mitochondria are the main site for energy conversion in the cell. Under certain circumstances, such as excess calcium retention or production of reactive oxygen species, a pore forms at contact sites between the outer and the normally impermeable inner mitochondrial membrane. READ MORE

4. The importance of Cyclophilins and Mps1 in cancer
Abstract : Hepatic fibrosis is a pathological response to chronic liver injuries such as chronic alcohol consumption, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or chronic viral infections. No antifibrotic compound has been approved for liver fibrosis and if the cause of the chronic injury is not solved, fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis. READ MORE

5. Molecular dynamics studies of water and biomolecules
Abstract : This thesis concerns different areas of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In the first part of the thesis the ability of liquid water models to mimic the real bulk water properties and the accuracy of the methods to calculate the properties of water from MD simulations were examined.
