    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biotic stress; plants; microorganisms; stress tolerance; antifreeze protein; proline; programmed cell death; systemic aquired resistance; Biochemistry; metabolism; Biokemi; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; abiotic stress;

    Abstract : Various forms of stress, such as biotic and abiotic stress, were studied in microorganisms and plants to learn more about the underlying mechanisms of such stress and potential genetic engineering strategies towards stress tolerance. An antifreeze protein from winter flounder, expressed in E. READ MORE

  4. 2. Exploring Protein Functions by Molecular Modelling

    Author : Guido Todde; Sven Hovmöller; Valerie Daggett; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Proteins are one of the most important families of biological macromolecules. Proteins can assume many different structures. This makes them perfect to serve a wide range of functions in all organisms. In the last decades, molecular modeling has become an important and powerful tool in the investigation of biological systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Physiological and biochemical aspects of vegetable processing. A case study on carrots

    Author : Federico Gómez Galindo; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; mild blanching; antifreeze proteins; cell wall; cold acclimation; carrots; metabolism;

    Abstract : The aim of the present study was to enhance our understanding of vegetables as living organisms, interacting dynamically with the environment, and to explore the possible influence of metabolic changes on subsequent processing operations. Growing conditions, harvesting and handling in the packing house and storage conditions are key events leading to a defined “physiological status” of the vegetable that is going to be consumed as a fresh product or a processed product.

  6. 4. Synthesis of inositolphosphoglycans found in Trypanosoma cruzi and development of novel carbohydrate monomolecular layers

    Author : Markus Hederos; Robert Madsen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : In this thesis, synthetic carbohydrate chemistry has been utilized to contribute to the fundamental understanding of three biological relevant areas. These include parasite cell-membrane glycoconjugates, protein-resistant surfaces and antifreeze glycoproteins. READ MORE
