  2. 11. Protein–DNA Recognition : In Vitro Evolution and Characterization of DNA-Binding Proteins

    Author : Mikael Nilsson; Mikael Widersten; Dan Tawfik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; In vitro evolution; Phage display; mRNA display; Cro; DNA recognition; repressor; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : DNA-recognizing proteins are involved in a multitude of important life-processes. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand the underlying mechanisms that set the rules for sequence specific protein–DNA interactions. Previous attempts aiming to resolve these interactions have been focused on naturally occurring systems. READ MORE

  4. 12. Formation and Evolution of Protoplanetary Discs

    Author : Johan Appelgren; Astrofysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protoplanetary discs; Accretion discs; planet formation;

    Abstract : Protoplanetary discs and the protostars they surround are formed from the gravitational collapse of molecularcloud cores. These discs consist primarily of gas, with a small but important dust component. The roughlymm-sized grains that make up the dust component are the building blocks of planets. READ MORE

  5. 13. Microbial Synthetic Biology, Systems Metabolic Engineering and Enzyme Engineering for Advanced Microbial Biodiesel Production with Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Author : Juan Octavio Valle Rodriguez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; protein rational engineering; wax ester synthase; hydrolase; advanced biofuel; fatty acid metabolism; directed evolution; chromosomal delta-integration;

    Abstract : The continuous requirement of transportation biofuels has brought the necessity to establish alternatives permitting low-cost production of biodiesel while being environmentally friendly. Biodiesel production was achieved utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae by employing respective enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) based on fatty acyl-CoA molecules and ethanol.

  6. 14. Improving flavonoid production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using synthetic biology tools

    Author : Dany Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolic engineering; biosensors; in vivo directed evolution; enzyme scaffolding; yeast;

    Abstract : Flavonoids are plant secondary metabolites and represent one of the largest classes of natural products. Due to their health-beneficial properties, they have found potential applications in foods, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, their production is based on extraction from plant material. READ MORE

  7. 15. Genomic and phenotypic consequences of allopolyploidization in Capsella

    Author : Tianlin Duan; Martin Lascoux; Adrien Sicard; Sylvain Glémin; Barbara Mable; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Allopolyploidy; Polyploidy; Hybridization; Neopolyploid lines; Gene expression; Self-incompatibility; Capsella bursa-pastoris;

    Abstract : Allopolyploidization, the combination of whole-genome duplication (WGD) and interspecific hybridization, is a frequent and influential event in plant evolution. Allopolyploidization potentially affects both adaptation and diversification, yet the understanding of the consequences of allopolyploidy has been obscured by several issues. READ MORE
