  2. 1. Structural studies of ba3-type cytochrome c oxidase using serial crystallography and X-ray absorption spectroscopy

    Author : Doris Zoric; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ba3-type cytochrome c oxidase; structural biology; X-rays; serial X-ray crystallography; X-ray absorption spectroscopy; enzyme reaction dynamics;

    Abstract : Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) catalyses the reduction of molecular oxygen to water while the energy released in this process is used transport protons “up-hill” across an energy transducing biological membrane, creating a proton-motive force for ATP synthesis. Given its key role in energy transduction in organisms, proton pumping has been extensively studied across species. READ MORE

  4. 2. Infrared - X-ray pump probe spectroscopy

    Author : Viviane Costa Felicissimo; Faris Gelmukhanov; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : The present thesis concerns theoretical studies of molecular interactions investigated by infrared and X-ray spectroscopic techniques, with emphasis on using the two technologies combined in pump probe experiments. Three main types of studies are addressed: the use of near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectra (NEXAFS) to manifest through-bond and through-space interactions; the role of hydrogen bonding on the formation of X-ray photoelectron spectra as evidenced by simulations of the water dimer; and the development of theory, with sample applications, for infrared X-ray pump probe spectroscopy - the main theme of the thesis.
