  2. 6. Biomolecular interactions at model interfaces : a self-assembled monolayer approach

    Author : Sofia Svedhem; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis has been to explore the use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in model studies of biomolecular binding at interfaces. Molecular details of interfaces are difficult to address experimentally, and in spite of the fact that interactions in the living system commonly occur at interfaces, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 7. It Takes Two to Tango : Bacterial heterogeneity and host cell features govern Salmonella infection

    Author : Viktor Ek; Mikael E. Sellin; Francisco García del Portillo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Salmonella; swimming; swim pattern; targetting; virulence; invasion; host-pathogen interactions; epithelium; epithelial cells; macrophages; monocytes; monolayer; flagella; genome; genetic; barcoding; discreet-invasion; shape; morphology; antibiotics; persistence; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S.Tm) causes enterocolitis with significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. The general aim of this thesis is to investigate variation in host cell invasion mechanisms used by S.Tm across different host cell contexts, as well as the influence of bacterial cell-cell heterogeneity on invasion-relevant S.

  5. 8. Interaction Between Antimicrobial Peptides and Phospholipid Membranes : Effects of Peptide Length and Composition

    Author : Lovisa Ringstad; Martin Malmsten; Per Hansson; Jeremy Ramsden; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adsorption; antibacterial; antimicrobial peptide; bilayer; ellipsometry; electrochemistry; electrostatic interactions; hydrophobicity; liposome; membrane; monolayer; phospholipid; secondary structure; supported bilayer.; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmaceutical Physical Chemistry; farmaceutisk fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Due to increasing problems with bacterial resistance development, there is a growing need for identifying new types of antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides constitute an interesting group of substances for this purpose, since they are believed to act mainly by disrupting the bacterial membrane, which is a fast and non-specific mechanism.

  7. 10. POLYPEPTIDES - STRUCTURES AND INTERACTIONS IN MONOLAYERS AND AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

    Author : Helen Sjögren; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; tyrosine ; co-poly-L lysine; phenylalanine ; co-poly-L- lysine; poly-L-glutamate; poly-L-lysine; poly-L-valine; poly-L-isoleucine; poly-gamma-methyl-L-glutamate; poly-L-leucine; monolayer; Langmuir-Blodgett film; CD spectroscopy; random coil; alpha-helix; surfactant stabilisation; polypeptide; polyamino acid;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis work is to understand and be able to control polypeptide conformation and interactions at interfaces and in solution by changing the solution conditions. For this purpose simple model polypeptides, so-called polyamino acids, have been investigated at the air-liquid interface, as well as in aqueous solutions. READ MORE
