  2. 1. Design and Synthesis of Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Protease Inhibitors Incorporating a P2 Cyclopentane-Derived Scaffold

    Author : Marcus Bäck; Anja Sandström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HCV; NS3 protease; Proline mimic; Cyclopentane-derived scaffold; Linear inhibitors; Macrocyclic inhibitors; Organic synthesis; Organisk syntes;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships analysis of potential inhibitors targeting the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protease. Also discussed is the disease caused by HCV infection and the class of enzymes known as proteases. READ MORE

  4. 2. Design and Synthesis of Enzyme Inhibitors Against Infectious Diseases : Targeting Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Protease and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ribonucleotide Reductase

    Author : Johan Gising; Mats Larhed; Anders Karlén; Victor Snieckus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Abstract : Infectious diseases, including hepatitis C and tuberculosis, claim the lives of over 15 million people each year. Hepatitis C is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) which infects the liver and can ultimately result in liver transplantation. HCV is very adaptive as a result of its high mutation rate. READ MORE

  5. 3. Design, Synthesis and Characterization of Small Molecule Inhibitors and Small Molecule : Peptide Conjugates as Protein Actors

    Author : Jonas Nilsson; Lars Baltzer; Ingemar Kvarnström; Thomas Olsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synthetic receptor; Peptide inhibitor conjugate; Peptide protein surface interactions; General Lead Discovery Library; Combinatorial Chemistry; Solid Phase Chemistry; Targeted Library; Thrombin inhibitor; Fluorescence; Surface Plasmon Resonance; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes different aspects of protein interactions. Initially the function of peptides and their conjugates with small molecule inhibitors on the surface of Human Carbonic Anhydrase isoenzyme II (HCAII) is evaluated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular basis for enhanced T-cell recognition and cross-reactivity

    Author : Eva Allerbring; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : T cells of the adaptive immune system recognize and kill infected cells by interacting with pathogenic peptides displayed on major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) through its T-cell receptor (TCR). TCR interactions with peptide/MHC complexes occur throughout the lifespan of T cells, from development to activation, with the origin of the peptide varying between self and foreign. READ MORE

  7. 5. RICH-1, a Multifunctional RhoGAP Domain-containing Protein, Involved in Regulation of the Actin Filament System and Membrane-trafficking

    Author : Ninna Richnau; Pontus Aspenström; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Bengt Hallberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Rho GTPase; RhoGAP; actin; BAR domain; membrane-trafficking; formin homology proteins; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The Rho GTPases, which are related to the Ras family of proto-oncogenes, have been found to have important roles in regulating the morphogenic and migratory properties of eukaryotic cells. In addition, these proteins have been shown to regulate aspects of cell signaling, cell growth, cell division and cell survival. READ MORE
