  2. 6. Development of Surface-Based Methods for Studies of Non-Electrolyte Membrane Transport

    Author : Seyed Tabaei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; membrane junction; surface plasmon resonance; membrane transfer; supported lipid bilayer; quartz crystal microbalance; aquaporin; bicelles; fluorescence microscopy;

    Abstract : Membrane-transport proteins are a diverse family of proteins that all span the cell membrane where they control the transfer of nutrients, metabolites and ions into and out of the cell. Due to their vital role for the function of cells, reliable methods, preferably with high-throughput capacity, to study this class of proteins are essential in fundamental studies as well as in discovery and development of new drugs.

  4. 7. Stress, Homeostasis and Robustness: Molecular and Systems Level Analysis in Yeast

    Author : Doryaneh Ahmadpour; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Abstract Cells constantly encounter stress due to alterations in the external milieu or internal parameters. However, cells are robust to such changes and maintain homeostasis. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism, we attempted to elucidate aspects of homeostasis and robustness at both molecular and systems levels. READ MORE

  5. 8. Structure and Function of Aqua(glycero)porins - A Path to Drug Design

    Author : Gerhard Fischer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; structural biology; drug screening; Malaria; membrane proteins; yeast;

    Abstract : Membrane proteins are a major class of the drug targets. Rational design of drugs requires knowledge about the structure and function of these proteins. Working with membrane proteins, however, is experimentally challenging as the required technology is still emerging. READ MORE

  6. 9. Osmoregulation at different stages of the yeast life cycle

    Author : Cecilia Geijer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stress signalling; osmoregulation; aquaporins; cerevisiae; germination; germination;

    Abstract : The ability to adapt to changing and potentially harmful conditions in the surrounding environment is crucial for fitness and survival of all living cells; in particular unicellular organisms, since they are frequently exposed to stress factors such as heat, drought, nutritional starvation and toxic substances. The aim of this thesis is to determine how cells respond to osmotic and nutritional changes in the environment and how downstream targets of signalling cascades are regulated. READ MORE
