  2. 11. Cyclotides : Tuning Parameters Toward Their Use in Drug Design

    Author : Mariamawit Yonathan Yeshak; Ulf Göransson; Lars Bohlin; Kaleab Asres; Robert Kiss; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : cyclotide; Viola abyssinica; Viola odorata; Extraction; Violaceae; vaby; cytotoxic; genotoxic; cell penetrating; microautoradiography; LC-MS; comet assay; cycloviolacin O2; Farmakognosi; Pharmacognosy;

    Abstract : Cyclotides are plant proteins with a unique topology, defined as the cyclic cystine knot motif. The motif endows cyclotides with exceptional chemical and biological stability. They also exhibit a wide range of biological activities including insecticidal, cytotoxic, anti-HIV and antimicrobial effects. READ MORE

  4. 12. Phylogeny, taxonomy and species delimitation of water mites and velvet mites

    Author : Jeanette Stålstedt; Johannes Bergsten; Fredrik Ronquist; Joanna Mąkol; Ashley Dowling; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acariformes; Parasitengona; Hydrachnidia; Trombidia; water mites; velvet mites; taxonomy; cryptic species; species delimitation; DNA; GMYC; experimental rearing; new synonyms; distribution; phylogeny; revised classification; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Abstract : This study is part of the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative (STI) - one of the most ambitious all taxa biodiversity inventories in the world. One of the pillars in STI is to support taxonomic research on the most neglected taxonomic groups with the aim to lift the level of knowledge of biodiversity in the country. READ MORE

  5. 13. Algorithms for aggregate information extraction from sequences

    Author : Fredrik Bengtsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dependable Communication and Computation Systems; Kommunikations- och beräkningssystem;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we propose efficient algorithms for aggregate information extraction from sequences and multidimensional arrays. The algorithms proposed are applicable in several important areas, including large databases and DNA sequence segmentation. READ MORE

  6. 14. NMR studies of DNA structure and counterion behaviour

    Author : Lorens van Dam; Gary Drobny; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : DNA is a polymer of nucleotides, each nucleotide consisting of a negatively charged phosphate group, a ribose sugar unit, and a purine or pyrimidine base. The secondary structure of DNA is commonly a double-helix with Watson-Crick paired bases. Several secondary structures, all with these features, are observed for DNA. READ MORE

  7. 15. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from modern and ancient plant DNA

    Author : Kevin Nota; Laura Parducci; Love Dalén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular palaeoecology; Ancient lake sediments; Post-glacial migration; Floral changes; Biology with specialization in Ecological Botany; Biologi med inriktning mot ekologisk botanik;

    Abstract : Palaeoecological studies on lake sediments and peat archives have provided fundamental knowledge about past environments, nevertheless, a lot remains to be learned. In this thesis, I focussed on plant ancient DNA extracted from sedimentary archives (sedaDNA), in combination with DNA from living trees with the aims of: (1) investigating different extraction methods and levels of inhibition in sediments, (2) investigating postglacial recolonisation history of Norway spruce in Fennoscandia, (3) comparing different sequencing and bioinformatic approaches to investigate past flora changes using sedaDNA and investigating past flora change in contrasting environments (southern Italy versus southern Sweden), and (4) communicating my work more broadly using art.
