  2. 6. Tailoring Fluorescent Probes for Organelle-Specific Imaging and Sensing

    Author : Xin Zhang; Zhangjun Hu; Kajsa Uvdal; Fredrik Almquist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fluorescent imaging; Ratiometric Nanoprobe; Autophagy; Apoptosis; FRET; Fluorescerande avbildning; Ratiometric Nanoprobe; Autophagy; Apoptosis; FRET;

    Abstract : Exploring and visualizing biological and pathological processes in living cells are useful for both fundamental research and applications. An understanding on the molecular level for these processes with focus on tracking biomarkers, collecting information about their surroundings, and uncovering essential molecular pathways and functions in live cells are of vital interest for cell biological study and clinical diagnosis application.

  4. 7. Manganese and Iron Heterodimers and Homodimers in Enzymes : Insights from Density Functional Theory

    Author : Katarina Roos; Per Siegbahn; Margareta R. A. Blomberg; Frank Neese; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ribonucleotide reductase; manganese; iron; density functional theory; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : The enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, and is essential for all organisms. Canonical class I RNR R2 proteins use a diiron cofactor to generate a tyrosyl radical, which is required for catalysis. READ MORE

  5. 8. Structural dynamics of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

    Author : Michiel Van Lun; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) assimilates carbon dioxide (CO2) from air into biomass. Due to its slow turnover, the reaction is a rate-limiting step in photosynthetic carbon fixation. READ MORE

  6. 9. Computational Modelling of Ligand Complexes with G-Protein Coupled Receptors, Ion Channels and Enzymes

    Author : Lars Boukharta; Johan Åqvist; Christopher A. Reynolds; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer simulations; molecular dynamics; ligand binding; free energy perturbation; linear interaction energy; binding free energy; homology modelling; structure prediction; alanine scanning; site-directed mutagenesis; hERG; GPCR; neuropeptide Y; HIV-1 reverse transcriptase; integron integrase; Molecular Biotechnology; Molekylär bioteknik;

    Abstract : Accurate predictions of binding free energies from computer simulations are an invaluable resource for understanding biochemical processes and drug action. The primary aim of the work described in the thesis was to predict and understand ligand binding to several proteins of major pharmaceutical importance using computational methods. READ MORE

  7. 10. Prediction, modeling, and refinement of protein structure

    Author : Per Larsson; Arne Elofsson; Erik Lindahl; Barry Honig; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein structure prediction; Multiple alignments; Quality assessment; Molecular dynamics; Implicit solvent; Refinement; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Statistical mechanics; Statistisk mekanik; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Accurate predictions of protein structure are important for understanding many processes in cells. The interactions that govern protein folding and structure are complex, and still far from completely understood. However, progress is being made in many areas. Here, efforts to improve the overall quality of protein structure models are described. READ MORE
