  2. 1. RAP1 at the Yeast Telomere

    Author : Johan Wahlin; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytogenetik; DNA-binding; Saccharomyces; yeast; telomeric repeat; telomere; RAP1; repressor activator protein 1; Genetics; cytogenetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : Telomeres are specialized complexes of DNA and proteins that cap and confer stability to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomeric DNA of most eukaryotes is composed of tandemly arranged short repeats. Within the budding yeasts these repeats are diverged in length as well as in nucleotide composition. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immunological and functional properties of a non-repeat region in Plasmodium falciparum antigen Pf155/RESA

    Author : Siddique Abu Bakar; Lars Hvid; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum malaria is one of the most prevalent of all the great insect-borne diseases causing high morbidity and mortality in humans. As conventional anti-malarial treatment is becoming increasingly inefficient, alternative approaches to combat the parasite, like vaccine development, are of high priority. READ MORE

  5. 3. Molecular studies on streptococcal surface proteins

    Author : Johan Waldemarsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nonimmunodominance; vaccine; camouflaging; Streptococcus agalactiae; leucine-rich repeat; Streptococcus pyogenes; alpha; fibrinogen; M protein; surface proteins; Rib;

    Abstract : Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus pyogenes are two related human pathogens causing different diseases. This thesis focuses on a number of surface proteins expressed by S. agalactiae and S. pyogenes and, more specifically, the molecular and biological characterization of these proteins. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Identification and Characterisation of LRIG Gene Family and Its Expression in Astrocytic Tumours

    Author : Dongsheng Guo; Tomas Ekström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : astrocytoma; brain; EGFR; LRIG; leucine-rich repeat; real-time RT-PCR; onkologi; Oncology;

    Abstract : Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours, and their capacity to invade surrounding normal brain prevents complete removal of the tumour. Malignant glioma has still a poor prognosis. However, with the rapid development of molecular biology our understanding about glioma has increased dramatically. READ MORE

  7. 5. Prediction, Design and Determination of Protein Structures

    Author : Sebastian Rämisch; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein design; Rosetta; Fold-and-Dock; leucine rich repeat proteins; coiled-coils; molecular replacement; ab initio phasing; temperature stability; fluorescent proteins;

    Abstract : The three-dimensional structure of protein is encoded in its amino acid sequence. Modern structure prediction algorithms make it possible to predict the structure of small proteins using sequence information alone. READ MORE
