  2. 11. Molecular and Metabolic Aspects of Plant and Bacterial Salt Tolerance

    Author : Peter Olsson; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; metabolism; gamma-aminobutyric acid; Nicotiana tabacum; salinity; hypoxia; heamoglobin; microarray; glycine betaine; NaCl; GABA; Vitreoscilla; calmodulin; Esherichia coli; tobacco; Biokemi; Metabolism; Biochemistry; Arabidopsis;

    Abstract : Salt stress is one of the historically as well as potentially largest agriculture problem humans have faced. Researchers have investigated and tried to solve this problem for a long time. Over 20 reviews have been written on this topic the last five years. READ MORE

  4. 12. Revealing Secrets of Synaptic Protein Interactions : A Biosensor based Strategy

    Author : Christian Seeger; U Helena Danielson; Sarah Lummis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surface plasmon resonance; biosensor; AMPA receptor; GABAA receptor; ligand-gated ion channel; A-kinase anchoring protein; caldendrin; calmodulin; HIV; fragment based drug discovery; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Protein interactions are the basis of synaptic function, and studying these interactions on a molecular level is crucial for understanding basic brain function, as well as mechanisms underlying neurological disorders. In this thesis, kinetic and mechanistic characterization of synaptic protein interactions was performed by using surface plasmon resonance biosensor technology. READ MORE

  5. 13. Protein Interactions: Electrostatics and Ligand Binding

    Author : Ingemar André; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik; secondary structure formation; protein GB1; pKa values; pH stability; NMR; electrostatic interactions; M proteins; calbindin D9k; calcium binding; cooperativity; calmodulin; calbindin D28k;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with Ca2+ binding to proteins, electrostatic interactions in and between proteins as well as inter- and intramolecular interactions. A computer program was developed to determine Ca2+ binding constants from experimental titration data of proteins. READ MORE

  6. 14. Aquaporins - Novel approaches to old problems

    Author : Carl Johan Hagströmer; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaporin AQP ; membrane proteins; X-ray crystallography; nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; Sjögren s syndrome; cataracts; ezrin; calmodulin; continuous diffraction; protein-protein interactions;

    Abstract : As all life on this planet evolves around water, it is important for our bodies to be able to regulate it. This may be done passively, but just like with water in the ocean, if we were to rely solely on passive transport (such as evaporation), the flow of water would be too slow for biological functions to uphold the homeostasis that is so important for us to survive.

  7. 15. Deciphering conformational ensembles and communication pathways in biomolecules

    Author : Annie M. Westerlund; Lucie Delemotte; Erik Lindahl; Kresten Lindorff-Larsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular dynamics; Clustering; Machine learning; Network analysis; Calmodulin; KCNQ1; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

    Abstract : Life is constructed by small building blocks called cells. Proteins are the biomolecules within these cells which carry out different functions. Proteins located in the cell membrane, for example, allow for the transport of ions and small molecules, as well as communication, across the cell membrane. READ MORE
