4. 2. Structural studies of drug targets and a drug metabolizing enzyme

   Author : Daniela Cederfelt; U. Helena Danielson; Doreen Dobritzsch; Inari Kursula; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biophysics; Protein structure; X-ray crystallography; Cryogenic electron microscopy; Enzymology; Drug discovery; Pyrimidine degradation; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis describes how structural information about a protein can be acquired, and how it can be used to answer scientific questions about proteins’ function, their dynamic behaviour and their interactions with other proteins or ligands.The catalytic function of the pyrimidine-degrading, drug metabolizing enzyme β-ureidopropionase (βUP) is dependent on the shift between oligomeric states.

5. 3. Protein Interaction Studies with Low Molecular Weight Ligands : Applications for Drug Discovery, Basic Research and Diagnostic Tool Design

   Author : Tony Christopeit; U.Helena Danielson; Danièle Altschuh; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the interactions between different proteins and small ligands were characterized by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based assays.   For the C-reactive protein (CRP), a new type of artificial binder was identified which allows designing diagnostic assays superior to commonly used standard assays.

6. 4. Towards a New Generation of Anti-HIV Drugs : Interaction Kinetic Analysis of Enzyme Inhibitors Using SPR-biosensors

   Author : Malin Elinder; U. Helena Danielson; Maurizio Botta; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; drug discovery; fragment; screening; reverse transcriptase; microbicides; interaction analysis; NNRTIs; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : As of today, there are 25 drugs approved for the treatment of HIV and AIDS. Nevertheless, HIV continues to infect and kill millions of people every year. Despite intensive research efforts, both a vaccine and a cure remain elusive and the long term efficacy of existing drugs is limited by the development of resistant HIV strains. READ MORE

7. 5. Towards time-resolved molecular interaction assays in living bacteria
