2. 1. Functionally-associated target antigens in cancer. Defined by human antibodies and small interfering RNAs

   Author : Johan Fransson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; phage display; Antibody; cancer; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; serology; Immunology; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Cytology;

   Abstract : Cancer is the collective name for diseases that have one thing in common ? uncontrolled cell growth. The increase in cancer cell proliferation eventually results in tumor formation and, in the worst case, metastatic spread to other organs. Common treatment modalities of cancer include chemotherapy and radiation therapy. READ MORE

4. 2. Effects of Protons and Small Alcohols on the Oxygen-Evolving Complex of Photosystem II

   Author : Paulina Geijer; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EPR; pH; methanol; S3; S2; S0; YZ; Mn cluster; Oxygen-evolving complex; S-states; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism;

   Abstract : Higher plants and algae use oxygenic photosynthesis to convert solar energy to reducing equivalents and chemical energy. The ultimate electron donor to oxygenic photosynthesis is water. Oxidation of water to oxygen occurs in the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in Photosystem II (PSII). The OEC is composed of four Mn atoms, Ca2+ and Cl-. READ MORE

5. 3. The conserved methionines in the chloroplast small heat shock protein - Role in chaperone-substrate interactions and effects of methionine sulfoxidation on chaperone activity

   Author : Niklas Gustavsson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metabolism; Biochemistry; oxidative stress; thermostability; temperature stress; stress tolerance; sHsp; protein aggregation; molecular chaperone; Heat stress; methionine sulfoxidation; Biokemi; metabolism; Plant biochemistry; Växtbiokemi;

   Abstract : The chloroplast-localized small heat shock protein (sHsp) Hsp21 belongs to the family of alpha-crystallin like sHsps which form large oligomeric structures and protect partly unfolded aggregation-prone proteins against aggregation. The main focus for this thesis has been on the highly conserved methionines in Hsp21. READ MORE

6. 4. Fast isolation of proteins from bioreactors using affinity chromatography techniques

   Author : Eva Pålsson; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chromatography; protein purification; analyses; dispersion; chromatography matrices; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Metabolism; expanded bed; metabolism; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : The purification of proteins from raw materials like fermentation broth and other biological sources usually involves several purification steps and is rather time consuming and expensive. This is a major concern in the production of many important protein products e.g. pharmaceuticals such as insulin and blood coagulation factors. READ MORE

7. 5. 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
