  2. 1. Catabolism of Pyrimidines in Yeast

    Author : Anna Rasmussen; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pyrimidine degradation; catabolism of pyrimidines; nucleic acid precursors; yeast; Lachancea kluyveri; URC pathway;

    Abstract : Pyrimidines are important precursors for nucleic acids, and constantly synthesized and degraded in the cell to maintain a balanced supply. Many microoganisms can also extract the nitrogens from the pyrimidine ring, and use them as a nitrogen source when “preferred” sources are absent. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structure Function Relationships in Pyrimidine Degrading and Biocatalytic Enzymes, and Their Implications for Cancer Therapy and Green Chemistry

    Author : Dirk Maurer; Doreen Dobritzsch; Mikael Widersten; Rikkert Wierenga; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; β-Ureidopropionase; Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase; Alcohol Dehydrogenase; Pyrimidine catabolism; 5-Fluorouracil; CASTing; X-ray Crystallography;

    Abstract : This thesis includes the work of two separate projects, studies on pyrimidine degrading enzymes and studies on in vitro evolved enzymes. The common denominator of both projects was the use of structural information to explain functional effects, observed in the studied biocatalysts. READ MORE
