  2. 1. Redox Regulation and Stress Responses - Studies in Bacillus subtilis

    Author : Jonas Larsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; redox sensor; oxygen sensor; reactive nitrogen species; RNS; Biology; Biologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; virologi; mykologi; Bacillus subtilis; Rex; yjbI; ydiH; yjbH; redox regulation;

    Abstract : Redox reactions are central to all organisms to sustain life. Both anabolic and catabolic metabolism depends on them. It is thus vital to sense and adjust the redox balance in the cell. One major factor affecting the redox status is the level of oxygen present. READ MORE

  4. 2. DNA checkpoint override and redox signaling in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Author : Johanna J Sjölander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Caffeine; Cell cycle; Checkpoint; Cdc25; Wee1; TORC1; FHIT; Proliferation; Aph1; Redox; Hypoxia; H2O2; Cysteine; Thiol; Allosteric; MAPK; Sty1; MAPKK; Wis1;

    Abstract : This thesis covers intracellular stress signaling through genotoxic stress, overriding of checkpoint control, as well as cellular redox status in hypoxic and oxidative stress Papers I and II: Caffeine has been shown to override cell cycle checkpoints in humans as well as in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Understanding of the mechanism may aid in the development of compounds with similar overriding mechanisms for sensitization in cancer therapy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of chloroplast gene expression in higher plants

    Author : Anna Furo Tullberg; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein tyrosine kinase; plastoquinone pool; redox; Pisum sativum; Sinapis alba; petB; psaB; chloroplast; gene expression; Physiological biophysics; Växtfysiologi; light harvesting complex II;

    Abstract : Chloroplast gene expression is regulated by developmental and environmental signals. It has been proposed that there is a direct coupling between electron transport in biological membranes and gene expression (J. F. Allen, 1992, Biochim. READ MORE

  6. 4. Understanding the mechanisms behind atom transfer radical polymerization : exploring the limit of control

    Author : Helena Bergenudd; Mats Jonsson; Eva Malmström Jonsson; David M Haddleton; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymerization; controlled radical polymerization; atom transfer radical polymerization; kinetics; catalysis; electrochemistry; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most commonly employed techniques for controlled radical polymerization. ATRP has great potential for the development of new materials due to the ability to control molecular weight and polymer architecture. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis and Control of Continuous Microaerobic Ethanol Production by Yeast

    Author : Carl Johan Franzén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nitrogen limitation; ethanol; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; glycerol; metabolic flux analysis; oxygen limitation; stoichiometric model; yeast physiology; RQ control;

    Abstract : Glucose fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and xylose fermentation by Candida utilis and Pichia stipitis, were investigated under microaerobic conditions. A dynamic experimental method named oxygen programmed fermentation (OPF), and a method for microaerobic RQ control in continuous culture have been developed. READ MORE
