2. 6. Modelling Approaches to Molecular Systems Biology

   Author : David Fange; Måns Ehrenberg; Johan Elf; Terence Hwa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stochastic reaction-diffuion kinetics; antibiotic drugs; efflux pumps; amino acid biosynthesis; Min-system; rRNA operon; transcription; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

   Abstract : Implementation and analysis of mathematical models can serve as a powerful tool in understanding how intracellular processes in bacteria affect the bacterial phenotype. In this thesis I have implemented and analysed models of a number of different parts of the bacterium E. coli in order to understand these types of connections. READ MORE

4. 7. Pheromone production in the butterfly Pieris napi L

   Author : Rushana Murtazina; Raimondas Mozuraitis; Joop van Loon; KTH; []
   Keywords : Pieris; Lepidoptera; pheromone; aphrodisiaca; antiaphrodisiaca; biosynthesis; flower volatiles; stable isotopes; incorporation; neral; geranial; methyl salicylate; benzyl cyanide; L - phenylalanine;

   Abstract : Aphrodisiac and anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production and composition in the green-veined white butterfly Pieris napi L. were investigated.Aphrodisiac pheromone biosynthesis had different time constraints in butterflies from the diapausing and directly developing generations.

5. 8. Myxine insulin : amino-acid sequence, three dimensional structure, biosynthesis, release, physiological role, receptor binding affinity, and biological activity

   Author : Stefan O. Emdin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The Atlantic hagfish, Myxlne. glutinosa,is the most primitive vertebrate extant, and it diverged from the main vertebrate evolutionary chain some 500 mi 11 ion years ago. READ MORE

6. 9. Arachidonic acid metabolism in corneal epithelial cells : Identification of lipoxygenase isoforms

   Author : Maria Liminga; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Cornea; cDNA cloning; lipoxygenase; liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; organ culture; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical Pharmacology;

   Abstract : The metabolism of arachidonic acid in the human cornea was investigated and compared with the metabolism in cattle and primates. All three species showed significant arachidonic acid metabolism inthe epithelium, whereas the activity in the stroma and the endothelium was low or undetectable. READ MORE

7. 10. Leukotriene A4 hydrolase : identification of amino acid residues involved in catalyses and substrate-mediated inactivation

   Author : Martin J Mueller; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Leukotriene (LT) A4 hydrolase catalyzes the committed step in the biosynthesis of LTB4, a classical chemoattractant and immuine-modulating lipid mediator involved in inflammation, host-defense against infections, and systemic, PAF-mediated, lethal shock. LTA4 hydrolase is a bifunctional zinc metalloenzyme with a chloride stimulated arginyl aminopeptidase activity. READ MORE
