  2. 21. An evolutionary basis for protein design and structure prediction

    Author : Christoffer Norn; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein evolution; Biophysics; Protein design; Protein structure prediction;

    Abstract : The sequence diversity of protein families is a result of the biophysical selection pressures that shaped their evolutionary history. Among the dominant pressures is selection for protein thermostability, which in itself is an attractive target in protein engineering because of its importance for various biopharmaceutical properties, the performance of industrial enzymes, and the ability to design new protein functions.

  5. 23. Characterization of the DNA-Binding Properties of the Cyanobacterial Transcription Factor NtcA

    Author : Susanne Wisén; Bengt Mannervik; Enrique Flores; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; NtcA; transcription regulation; cyanobacteria; redox regulation; DNA binding; nitrogen fixation; Anabaena PCC 7120; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Nitrogen is an essential building block of proteins and nucleic acids and, therefore, crucial for the biosphere. Nearly 79 % of the air consists of nitrogen, but in the form of nitrogen gas (N2), which cannot be utilized by most organisms. READ MORE

  6. 24. Structural and Functional Studies of Wilms Tumour Protein - WT1; Novel Insights into Functionality of Zinc Finger Proteins

    Author : Elmar Nurmemmedov; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Naturvetenskap; Natural science; function; structure; transcription factor; cancer; affinity; kinetics; Biacore; RNA binding; DNA binding; Wilms tumour WT1 ; zinc finger;

    Abstract : The molecular process under which message in DNA is relayed onto RNA is called transcription, and it accomplished through involvement of so-called transcription factors. Zinc finger proteins are one of the most abundant classes of regulatory proteins in eukaryotic cells where they play central roles in a variety of cellular activities. READ MORE

  7. 25. Structural Requirements for Selective DNA Binding - Studies on Mono- and Binuclear Ruthenium Complexes

    Author : Johanna Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ruthenium; enantioselectivity; sequence selectivity; spectroscopy; threading intercalation; calorimetry; kinetics; DNA; cell studies;

    Abstract : Ever since the discovery of the role of DNA as the template for protein synthesis, efforts have been made to develop DNA targeted drugs. One of the major challenges in the design of DNA binding drugs is to achieve selective binding to specific DNA sequences, which is crucial to avoid side effects. READ MORE
