  2. 1. Of spiders, bugs, and men : Structural and functional studies of proteins involved in assembly

    Author : Wangshu Jiang; Stefan D Knight; Steve J. Matthews; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein assembly; sulfate transporter; crystallography; Proteus mirabilis; fimbriae; adhesin; urinary tract infection; biofilm; spider silk; asymmetric dimer; Bri2; BRICHOS; molecular chaperone; Alzheimer s disease; amyloid; Biology with specialization in Structural Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot strukturbiologi;

    Abstract : Protein assembly enables complex machineries while being economical with genetic information. However, protein assembly also constitutes a potential threat to the host, and needs to be carefully regulated.Sulfate is a common source of sulfur for cysteine synthesis in bacteria. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of the anomeric center : mechanism and synthesis

    Author : Karl-Jonas Johansson; Harri Lönnberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on three publications and one appendix and is divided into two parts. The first part is a mechanistic study of the anomerization reaction of both aldo and keto glycosides and the second part is a synthetic study of a unusual type of glycosidic linker found in the lipopolysaccharide core Proteus Mirabilis 0270.

  5. 3. Nutraceuticals based computational medicinal chemistry

    Author : Kayathri Rajarathinam; Hans Ågren; Alexander Lyubartsev; Yaoquan Tu; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In recent years, the edible biomedicinal products called nutraceuticals have been becoming more popular among the pharmaceutical industries and the consumers. In the process of developing nutraceuticals, in silico approaches play an important role in structural elucidation, receptor-ligand interactions, drug designing etc. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structural and Functional Studies of Membrane Proteins For Future Development of Antimicrobial Drugs

    Author : Elin Dunevall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sialic acid transporters; SiaT; MraY; Tunicamycin; Antibiotic resistance;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is a world-wide occurring problem which threatens human health. Without development of any new and effective antibiotics, the rapid growth of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections could put society in a situation resembling the pre-antibiotic era when a simple lung infection could kill a human being.

  7. 5. Structural Insight into the Bacterial Sialic Acid Catabolic Pathway

    Author : Rhawnie Caing Carlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sialic acid; bacterial catabolic pathway;

    Abstract : A genetically diverse community of commensal and pathogenic bacteria thrive in the digestive system and urogenital tracts of animals. Many of these bacteria forage sialic acid from mucosal cell surfaces. READ MORE
