  2. 6. Small Particles with Big Impact : Structural Studies of Viruses and Toxicological Studies of Nanodiamonds

    Author : Anna Munke; Marvin Seibert; Kenta Okamoto; Filipe Maia; Inger Andersson; Nicola Stonehouse; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chaetenuissarnavirus II; cryo-EM; CtenRNAV-II; Escherichia coli; Danio rerio; flash X-ray imaging; Marnaviridae; single-particle analysis; single-particle imaging; Sogarnavirus; virus evolution; virus structure; XFEL; zebrafish embryo; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : Nanoparticles (NPs) can be found everywhere and their existence has both beneficial and harmful consequences for the environment and living beings. The investigations on which this thesis is based upon have contributed to an increased understanding of some of these particles and to the development of a method that could be used to study their structure.

  4. 7. Imaging Living Cells with an X-ray Laser

    Author : Gijs van der Schot; Tomas Ekeberg; Janos Hajdu; Filipe Maia; Pierre Thibault; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coherent diffractive X-ray imaging; flash X-ray imaging; lensless imaging; single particle imaging; cyanobacteria; phasing; image classification; substrate-free sample delivery; X-ray free-electron laser; XFEL; FEL; CDXI; CDI; CXI; FXI; Chemistry with specialization in Biophysics; Kemi med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : Imaging living cells at a resolution higher than the resolution of optical microscopy is a significant challenge. Fluorescence microscopy can achieve a degree of super-resolution via labeling cellular components with a fluorescent dye. READ MORE

  5. 8. Protein Folding Simulations in Kink Model

    Author : Xubiao Peng; Antti Niemi; Ulrich Hansmann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein folding; kink model; soliton; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : The structure of protein is essentially important for life activities. Proteins can perform their functions only by specific structures. In this thesis, the kink and multi-kink model for protein description are reviewed. READ MORE

  6. 9. Flash Diffractive Imaging in Three Dimensions

    Author : Tomas Ekeberg; Janos Hajdu; Keith Nugent; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray; diffraction; mimivirus; three dimensional; phase retrieval; EMC; manifold embedding; CXI; FEL; free-electron laser; single particle; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : During the last years we have seen the birth of free-electron lasers, a new type of light source ten billion times brighter than syncrotrons and able to produce pulses only a few femtoseconds long. One of the main motivations for building these multi-million dollar machines was the prospect of imaging biological samples such as proteins and viruses in 3D without the need for crystallization or staining.

  7. 10. Alexandria: A General Drude Polarizable Force Field with Spherical Charge Density

    Author : Mohammad Mehdi Ghahremanpour; David Van der Spoel; Kresten Lindorff-Larsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular mechanics; Force field; Drude oscillator model; Alexandria library; GROMACS; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : Molecular-mechanical (MM) force fields are mathematical functions that map the geometry of a molecule to its associated energy. MM force fields have been extensively used for an atomistic view into the dynamic and thermodynamics of large molecular systems in their condensed phase. READ MORE
