  2. 1. Engineering of Human Fetal Hemoglobin

    Author : Karin Kettisen; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fetal hemoglobin; protein engineering; recombinant protein production; protein purification; chromatography; oxygen carrier; redox reactions; net surface charge; DNA cleavage;

    Abstract : In blood, the oxygen-transporting protein hemoglobin (Hb) governs the oxygenation of cells and tissues. Naturally, this protein has claimed a place in the center of the research field of artificial oxygen therapeutics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards New Generation of Hemoglobin-Based Blood Substitutes

    Author : Sandeep Chakane; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : hemoglobin; Fetal hemoglobin; Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier; DNA cleavage; comet assay;

    Abstract : Blood transfusion is a clinically significant and crucial process, which saves millions of lives every year. However,shortage of donated blood and the risk of virus transmission through transfusible blood seriously affect theavailability of the blood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Phytoglobins: Elucidation of Structural, Functional and Practical Features of Non-Symbiotic Plant Hemoglobins

    Author : Simon Christensen; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hemoglobin; Fytoglobin; Hexakoordination; Karaktärisering; Protein design; Rekombinant protein production; Kromatografi; kristallografi; Dimerisering; Protein Dynamik;

    Abstract : Phytoglobins (Pgb) (plant hemoglobins) are heme-containing proteins and less well known in comparison to the mammalian counterparts hemoglobin (Hb) andmyoglobin (Mb). They share the same secondary structure as other globin-related proteins, six to eight α-helices comprising the myoglobin-fold (Mb-fold) with one prosthetic heme moiety per subunit. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microrheology of Concentrated Protein Solutions

    Author : Tommy Garting; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microrheology; Dynamic Light Scattering; Protein; Pegylation; Viscosity;

    Abstract : The behavior of concentrated protein solutions is of general high interest due to implications in, for example, biological systems and medical applications. It is necessary to investigate the rheological properties of such systems to understand how parameters, such as stability, are affected by the high concentrations. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of a Novel QCM Technique for Protein Adsorption Studies

    Author : Fredrik Höök; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; viscoelastic effects; myoglobin; QCM; hemoglobin; ferritin; dissipation factor; protein adsorption; conformational changes;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis (Papers I and II) is concentrated on the development of a novel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique to study protein adsorption. The second part (Papers III-V) is focused on the application of the technique on protein adsorption using well characterized surface-solution-protein systems. READ MORE
