  2. 1. Engineering synthetic pathways for adipic acid biosynthesis

    Author : Jae Ho Shin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolic engineering; cell factory; Corynebacterium glutamicum; L-lysine; GC MS; lignocellulose; adipic acid; benzoic acid; pathway engineering; muconic acid; cultivation; analytical chemistry; in silico docking;

    Abstract : Utilization of petroleum in consumer product manufacturing is causing irreversible environmental damage. Its impact on land, sea, and air calls for the development of more sustainable technologies based on the use of renewable materials such as lignocellulosic biomass and its conversion into platform chemicals.

    Author : Emma Skoog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 2-hexenedioic acid; enzyme engineering; 6-aminohex-2-enoic acid; S. cerevisiae; adipic acid pathway via lysine; cell factory; C. viswanathii; lignocellulose; biorefinery; tolerance; in silico docking; adipic acid;

    Abstract : Growing concern regarding climate change calls for sustainable solutions to significantly reduce our dependency on non-renewable fossil-based raw materials. One potential solution is the development of biorefineries where biobased, renewable raw materials are converted into valuable products via enzymatic, chemical or microbial conversion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards sustainable plastics : Microbial production of aromatic and aliphatic building blocks from biobased feedstock and plastic hydrolysate

    Author : Oliver Englund Örn; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cell factories; Biobased plastics; Protocatechuic acid; Adipic acid; 4-Hydroxybyratate; 1; 4-Butanediol; PBAT; Enzymatic recycling; Synthetic promoter library;

    Abstract : The current plastic system is unsustainable and needs to change. Plastics are mainly produced from fossil feedstock, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, and low rate of post-consumer recycling results in pollution on land and in oceans with high ecological impact, and huge loss of valuable material.

  6. 4. Reaction Mechanisms of Metalloenzymes and Synthetic Model Complexes Activating Dioxygen : A Computational study

    Author : Valentin Georgiev; Per E.M. Siegbahn; Sam de Visser; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; catalysis; density functional theory; extradiol; intradiol; dioxygenases; oxygen; biomimetic complexes; heme; spin transition; adipic acid; Chemical physics; Kemisk fysik; kvantkemi; Quantum Chemistry;

    Abstract : Quantum chemistry has nowadays become a powerful and efficient tool that can be successfully used for studies of biosystems. It is therefore possibleto model the enzyme active-site and the reactions undergoing into it, as well as obtaining quite accurate energetic profiles. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biomimetic Iron Complexes involved in Oxygenation and Chlorination : A Theoretical Study

    Author : Holger Noack; Margareta R. A. Blomberg; Per E. M. Siegbahn; Martin Kaupp; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biomimetic; iron; density functional theory; intradiol; chlorination; adpic acid; diamond core; reactivity; Bio-inorganic chemistry; Bio-oorganisk kemi; Theoretical chemistry; Teoretisk kemi; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : Biomimetic chemistry is directed towards the simulation of enzymatic reactivity with synthetic analogues. In this thesis a quantum chemical method has been employed to study the mechanism of highly reactive iron-oxo complexes involved in oxygenation and chlorination of organic substrates. READ MORE
