  2. 1. Systems Biology of the Secondary Metabolism in Filamentous Fungi

    Author : Jens Christian Froslev Nielsen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; genomics; systems biology; secondary metabolites; antibiotics; Next-generation sequencing; secondary metabolism; filamentous fungi; cell factories; Penicillium;

    Abstract : Filamentous fungi constitute a rich reservoir of pharmaceutically relevant bioactive small molecules. These compounds, commonly referred to as secondary metabolites, are widely used as antibiotics for the treatment of microbial infections, but also as other pharmaceuticals such as immunosuppressors, cholesterol lowering agents and anticancer drugs.

  4. 2. Affinity Two-Phase Partitioning of Liposomes and Membranes

    Author : Irene Barinaga-Rementeria Ramírez; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; miniaturised two-phase system; levitated drop; biotin; avidin; antibody; immunoaffinity; purification; rat lung; rat liver; caveolae; membrane; Affinity two-phase partitioning; liposome; Metabolism; Biochemistry; Biokemi; metabolism;

    Abstract : Affinity two-phase partitioning based on an immunoaffinity sandwich approach for the rapid and selective purification of membranes is presented in this thesis. The method was developed by studying different parameters governing the affinity partitioning of model membranes. To this end, biotinylated liposomes were used. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vitreoscilla Haemoglobin. Genetic Fusions and Metabolic Characterisation

    Author : Viktoria Roos; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism; osmotic stress; transcript profiling; DNA microarrays; random elongation mutagenesis; directed evolution; mRNA structure; Vitreoscilla haemoglobin VHb ; Escherichia coli; salt stress.;

    Abstract : Vitreoscilla is an obligate aerobic bacterium living in oxygen-poor environments such as stagnant ponds and decaying vegetable matter. Vitreoscilla expresses a homodimeric haemoglobin (VHb) when subjected to oxygen-limited conditions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Protein Folding Studied by Site Directed Mutagenesis

    Author : Tomas Ternström; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism; Biochemistry; Transition state; Activation Barrier; Two-State; Protein Folding; Protein Engineering;

    Abstract : The N-terminal RNA binding domain of U1A has been shown to fold in a two-state process without accumulating any intermediates. U1A has a symmetrically curved chevron plot which seems to result mainly from changes of the transition state. READ MORE

  7. 5. Isolation of caveolae using affinity two-phase partitioning

    Author : Parisa Abedinpour; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolism; Biokemi; Metabolism; Biochemistry; basolateral; apical; immunoaffinity; wheat germ agglutinin; caveolin; caveolae caveolae enriched fraction; plasma membranes; rat lung; rat liver; Affinity Partitioning; two-phase partitioning;

    Abstract : The intention of this work was to establish alternative purification methods to obtain highly purified caveolae from various tissues. In order to isolate caveolae, sufficiently pure plasma membranes are needed. READ MORE
