  2. 16. Interfacial Properties of Biomacromolecular Model Systems: Surface Forces and Nanotribology

    Author : Niklas Nordgren; Mark Rutland; Harry Brumer III; Robert Pelton; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; afm; surface force; friction; composite material; model surface; quartz crystal microbalance; dissipation; cellulose; xyloglucan; chitosan; colloidal probe; nanotribology; biomimetic; enzymatic; polysaccharide; graft; fiber; thiol; spring constant; calibration; lubrication; polyion; responsive.; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Abstract : The nanotribology, adhesion and related interfacial properties of biomacromolecular systems have been studied.  The aim was to elucidate the role of physisorbed and chemically grafted bio-polymers implicated as mediators for cellulose based processing and material design. READ MORE

  4. 17. Aspects of autoantibody epitopes in type 1 diabetes

    Author : Hanna Skärstrand; Celiaki och diabetes; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Minor autoantigens Neuropeptide Y.; Affinity; ZnT8 autoantibodies; Autoimmune type 1 diabetes;

    Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA), insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2A) and the most recently identified zinc T8 transporter (ZnT8A). Together or alone, they are important both to predict T1D and to classify diabetes at the time of clinical onset. READ MORE

  5. 18. 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

  6. 19. Engineering of alternative scaffold derived drug conjugates and fusion-toxins for targeted cancer therapy

    Author : Wen Yin; Torbjörn Gräslund; Serge Muyldermans; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HER2; Affibody; Cancer; ADAPT; Protein engineering; PE38; DM1; MMAE; MMAF; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Cancer is a major health problem, with premature death for many patients, and with a high monetary cost to society. The disease is complex to treat due to the many different types, but also because the disease-causing cells, that needs to be removed, are very similar to the normal cells. READ MORE

  7. 20. Separation Methods in Membrane Proteomics -Integration of Aqueous Two-Phase Partitioning for Enrichment and Pre-Fractionation

    Author : Henrik Everberg; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membrane proteins; Proteins; metabolism; Biokemi; Metabolism; Biochemistry; Aqueous two-phase partitioning; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; Proteomics;

    Abstract : The study of the protein complement of a genome is called proteomics. Proteomics can be defined as identification, quantification and characterization of a total set of proteins expressed at different time-points or under different cellular states to provide global information about biological processes.
