  2. 11. Computational Analysis of Molecular Recognition Involving the Ribosome and a Voltage Gated K+ Channel

    Author : Martin Andér; Johan Åqvist; Lennart Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer simulations; molecular dynamics; ligand binding; binding free energy; linear interaction energy; codon recognition; translation termination; release factor; voltage gated potassium ion channel; Kv1.5; Structural biology; Strukturbiologi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Over the last few decades, computer simulation techniques have been established as an essential tool for understanding biochemical processes. This thesis deals mainly with the application of free energy calculations to ribosomal complexes and a cardiac ion channel. READ MORE

  4. 12. Nanoscopic adventures : unraveling macromolecular complexes in infectious diseases via integrative structural biology

    Author : Kai Patric Ehrenbolger; Ronnie Berntsson; Felipe Cava; Jonas Barandun; David Drew; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Infectious diseases; E. faecalis; Microsporidia; Ribosome; Proteasome; Polar Tube; Structural Biology; Single particle Cryo-Electron Microscopy;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of infectious diseases, which claim nearly 9 million lives annually. The research centers on critical analysis of pathogen mechanisms and drug resistance. I have mainly focused on two clades of pathogens: Enterococcus faecalis and microsporidia. E. READ MORE

  5. 13. On the dynamics of footbridges : A theoretical approach and a comparison between running and walking loads

    Author : Daniel Colmenares; Raid Karoumi; Andreas Andersson; Mahir Ülker Kaustell; Pedro Museros Romero; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; footbridges; dynamics; human induced loads; human structure interaction; harmonic load; continuous beam; gångbroar; dynamik; fotgängarlast; samverkan mellan fotgängare och bro; harmonisk last; kontinuerlig balk.; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : The dynamic behaviour of lightweight footbridges is often susceptible to HumanInduced Loads (HILs). Generally HILs are taken into account as moving harmonicfunctions in which the loading frequency represents the step frequency of the pedestrians. READ MORE

  6. 14. Temporal dynamics of brain plasticity : characterizing brain structural changes during skill acquisition

    Author : Tomás Mediavilla; Daniel Marcellino; Alexandra Badea; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Motor learning; brain plasticity; structural plasticity; magnetic resonance imaging; voxel-based morphometry; tractography; connectivity; motor cortex; posterior parietal cortex; cerebellum; vesicular glutamate transporter;

    Abstract : Traditionally, structural plasticity in the human brain has been considered to follow a linear or asymptotic increase over the course of training. However, recent studies using structural MRI revealed transient increases in grey matter volume (GMV) with learning. READ MORE

  7. 15. Ultrafast Magnetization Dynamics : Element-selective studies of magnetic alloys using ultra short XUV pulses

    Author : Rameez Saeed Malik; Olof Karis; Uwe Bovensiepen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetization dynamics; magnetic alloys; HHG; ultrashort laser pulses; magneto-optical Kerr effect MOKE ; Gilbert damping; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I investigate the ultrafast magnetization dynamics in 3d ferromagnets and their alloys with ultrashort laser pulses. The high harmonics generation (HHG) setup provides extreme-ultraviolet photons with energies 35-72 eV, which is the energy range where 3d metals have their M2,3 absorption edges. READ MORE
