2. 1. Nanometer Scale Protein Templates for Bionanotechnology Applications

   Author : Jonas Rundqvist; David B. Haviland; Michael Grunze; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanotechnology; bionanotechnology; nanobiotechnology; electron beam lithography; EBL; poly ethylene glycol ; PEG; self-assembled monolayer; SAM; self-immobilization; protein pattern; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Nanofabrication techniques were used to manufacture nanometer scale protein templates. The fabrication approach employs electron beam lithography (EBL) patterning on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) thiol (CH3O(CH2CH2O)17NHCO(CH2)2SH) self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on Au. READ MORE

4. 2. Towards Myosin Powered Lab-on-a-Chip Devices

   Author : Lasse ten Siethoff; Alf Månsson; Miklos Kellermayer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; myosin; actin; molecular motors; lab-on-a-chip; nanobiotechnology; bionanotechnology; diagnostics; nanowires; nanowire arrays; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

   Abstract : Myosins are protein motors that use chemical energy in the form of adenosinetriphosphate to produce force and motion. These molecular motors might be usedto power transportation in Lab-on-a-chip devices where a series of laboratory tasks(e.g. separation, concentration and detection) are performed in one sequence on asmall chip.

5. 3. Structural and Functional Studies of De Novo Designed Peptides at Surfaces

   Author : Patrik Nygren; Bo Liedberg; Thomas Ederth; Martin Malmsten; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biofouling; vesicles; nanoparticles; peptide; peptide design; circular dichroism; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis deals with the structural and functional properties of peptides at surfaces. The interaction of peptides with surfaces is an ever so common occurrence in our every day life, from the bug squashed on the windshield of our car to the barnacle on our boat, and from the blood plasma used in the hospital to the proteins in our cells.
