2. 1. Beta-glucose 1-phosphate interconverting enzymes in Lactococcus lactis: physiological role and regulation in maltose, trehalose and glucose metabolism

   Author : Ulrika Andersson; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Biochemical technology; Biokemisk teknik; bacteriology; Microbiology; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Chemical technology and engineering; trehalose 6-phosphate phosphorylase; beta-phosphoglucomutase; maltose phosphorylase; glucose; trehalose; maltose; Lactococcus lactis; beta-glucose 1-phosphate;

   Abstract : Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), including Lactococcus lactis, are abundant in nature. These bacteria convert carbohydrates into mainly lactate by a rather uncomplicated metabolism. An improved understanding of the physiological and genetical mechanisms involved in carbohydrate metabolism and its regulation will improve the industrial use of LAB. READ MORE

4. 2. Interaction of trehalose with water and protein for the understanding of biological stabilization

   Author : Christoffer Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; trehalose; protein; neutron scattering; water; neutron diffraction; amorphous; cryopreservation; biomolecule; EPSR; DSC;

   Abstract : The understanding of biomolecular interactions with water and co-solutes opens up further understanding for the mechanism behind biomolecular stabilization. This is highly important for developing technologies aimed to preserve biological material. Such techniques include cryopreservation of for example pharmaceuticals or human organ transplants.

   Abstract : The understanding of biomolecular interactions with water and co-solutes can lead to greater knowledge regarding the mechanisms behind biomolecular stabilization. This is highly important for developing technologies aimed to preserve biological materials. READ MORE

6. 4. Sweet stability

   Author : Kajsa Ahlgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; myoglobin; lysozyme; amyloid fibrils; DSC; trehalose; protein denaturation; neutron scattering; glass transition; sucrose;

   Abstract : The disaccharide trehalose is known for its ability to stabilise proteins by preventing aggregation and elevating their denaturation temperature, consequently avoiding unfolding. The folding and function of proteins are vital for many biological processes. READ MORE

7. 5. Computer Simulations of Membrane–Sugar Interactions

   Author : Jon Kapla; Arnold Maliniak; Alexander Lyubartsev; Ilpo Vattulainen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular simulations; Molecular dynamics; Lipid bilayers; Carbohydrates; Biological membranes; Trehalose; Glycolipids; Membrane—sugar interactions; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

   Abstract : Carbohydrate molecules are essential parts of living cells. They are used as energy storage and signal substances, and they can be found incorporated in the cell membranes as attachments to glycoproteins and glycolipids, but also as free molecules. READ MORE
