  2. 1. Free radical mediated cellulose degradation

    Author : Erik Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : free radicals; cellulose; polymer; average chain length; bleaching; TCF; ozone; degradation;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the mechanisms involved in cellulosedegradation in general and Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) bleachingof pulp in particular. The thesis shows that the cellulosedegradation during high consistency ozone bleaching is explainedby free radical chain reactions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Free radicals in cellular pathology : Mechanisms behind lipofucin formation in cultured myocardial cells

    Author : Rasi Marzabadi Massoud; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Lipofuscin, or age pigment, may be defined as a yellowish-brown,autofluorescent, protein and lipid containing pigment that accumulates inthe lysosomal vacuome of a variety of post-mitotic cell types in man andanimals during aging. Lipofuscin is the end product of peroxidation,fragmentation and polymerization of proteins and lipids. READ MORE

  6. 4. Using de novo design proteins to explore tyrosine radicals and cation-π interactions

    Author : Bruce W. Berry; Cecilia Tommos; Anders Hofer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tyrosine; radicals; cation-pi interactions; de novo designed proteins; biochemistry; biophysics; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Redox cofactors and amino-acid free radicals play important roles in biology. Although many of the same cofactors and amino acids that form these radicals are found across a broad range of biological systems, identical cofactors can have different reduction potentials. The local environment plays a role in defining these redox potentials.

  7. 5. Mechanisms of Brain Damage Following Focal Cerebral Ischemia: Changes in Ion Homeostasis and the Importance of Free Radical Formation

    Author : Gunilla Gidö; Sektion IV; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PBN; free radicals; potassium; extracellular calcium; neuronal damage; energy-depletion; hypoglycemia; Cerebral focal ischemia; spreading depression; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis mechanisms of neuronal damage were investigated in an experimental stroke model i.e focal ischemia. The influence of SD-induced calcium transients on neuronal damage were studied in animals with reduced energy supply. READ MORE
