1. Molecular Dynamics Investigations of Structure and Dynamics of Lipid Bilayers and Associated Anesthetics
Abstract : Detailed understanding of lipid bilayers are of tremendous importance due to their role in many biological processes. This Thesis focuses on structural and dynamical properties of lipid bilayers and their interactions with locally acting anesthetics, studied by Molecular Dynamics simulations. READ MORE

2. Biological membrane interfaces involved in diseases : a biophysical study
Abstract : Interactions between peptides and biological lipid membranes play a crucial role in many cellular processes such as in the mechanism behind Alzheimer’s disease where amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta)is thought to be a key component. The initial step of binding between a surface active peptide and its target membrane or membrane receptor can involve a non specific electrostatic association where positively charged amino acid residues and a negatively charged membrane surface interact.

3. Foreign molecules in biomembranes : Molecular effects on intact stratum corneum and model lipid systems
Abstract : This thesis mainly explores how the molecular mobility of lipid and protein components in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC), varies with different conditions and upon adding foreign compounds. These studies require methods that makes it possible to detect and characterize the minor amount of fluid components in the highly ordered solid SC sample with resolved molecular information.

5. Biophysical studies of membrane associated biomolecular interactions
Abstract : Membrane associated interactions play important roles in various biological processes. The aim of this thesis is to study two types of membrane associated interactions by using biophysical methods, particularly NMR. First, the interaction of a targeting peptide and a receptor attached to membrane has been studied. READ MORE
