  2. 16. Human salivary esterases : a biochemical study of carboxylesterase and thio-esterase in human saliva with special reference to their inhibition by dental materials

    Author : Lennart Lindqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Electrophoretic and gel chromatographic techniques have been developed in order to obtain partially purified esterases from small amounts of human saliva. These techniques permit the characterization of salivary esterase regarding substrate and inhibitor specificities, and lectin binding ability. READ MORE

  4. 17. Nucleoside analog toxicity and nucleoside kinase deficiency : effects on mitochondrial DNA

    Author : Mia Bjerke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nucleoside analogs are modified nucleosides used in treatment of cancer and viral infections. They are dependent on intracellular phosphorylation to be pharmacologically active. Deoxyribonucleoside kinases catalyze the rate-limiting step in the phosphorylation of many clinically used nucleoside analogs. READ MORE

  5. 18. Structural Studies of Three Glycosidases

    Author : Anna Larsson; Alwyn Jones; Janet Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; glycosidase; dextranase; mannanase; endoglucanase; SeMet; MAD; crystal structure; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Glycosidases hydrolyse the glycosidic bond in carbohydrates. Structural studies of three glycosidases with different substrate specificities are presented in this work.Dextranase catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,6-glycosidic linkage in dextran polymers. READ MORE

  6. 19. Peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism in brown adipose tissue and liver

    Author : Stefan E. H. Alexson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) produces heat in response to cold. The heat produced is mainly due to oxidation of fatty acids. In animal tissues, fatty acid 9-oxidation has generally been assumed to occur in mitochondria. READ MORE

  7. 20. Plant major intrinsic proteins - functional implications of expression and localisation studies

    Author : Laure Fraysse; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant biochemistry; immunolabelling; microarray; plasma membrane; aquaporins; plant; water; Växtbiokemi;

    Abstract : Plant water channels are members of the very old Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) family, with representatives in bacteria, fungi, animals, and plants. The genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana contains 35 MIP genes. READ MORE
