  2. 1. Equilibrium studies of ternary aluminium(III) hydroxo complexes with ligands related to conditions in natural waters

    Author : Lars-Olof Öhman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aqueous solution; binary and ternary hydroxo complexes of Al3 ; carbonic acid; citric acid; phenolic ligands; emf-titrations; equilibrium analysis; model calculations towards natural waters;

    Abstract : The thesis is a summary and discussion of eight papers. During the last decades, precipitation has become increasingly acidic due to the extensive use of fossil fuels. In areas of poorly buffered bedrocks, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Engineering carbonic anhydrase for highly selective ester hydrolysis

    Author : Gunnar Höst; Bengt-Harald Jonsson; Lars-Göran Mårtensson; Per Berglund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbonic anhydrase; specificity; hydrolysis; rational design; protein engineering; plasmodium falciparum; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : I denna avhandling presenteras arbete utfört med enzymet humant karboanhydras II (HCAII). Enzymer är en typ av proteiner som accelererar (katalyserar) kemiska reaktioner, vilket är nödvändigt för allt levande. Den naturliga funktionen för HCAII är att katalysera omvandlingen av gasen koldioxid till vätekarbonat, som är löslig i vätska. READ MORE

  5. 3. Targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis Proteins: Structure and Function Studies of Five Essential Proteins

    Author : Adrian Suarez Covarrubias; Sherry Mowbray; Torsten Unge; Pedro Alzari; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cell and molecular biology; carbonic anhydrase; threonine synthase; FAS II; Rv0636; Rv1284; Rv1295; Rv3588c; Rv3778c; X-ray crystallography; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Mycobacterium tuberculosis;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the target selection, cloning, expression, purification, crystallization, structure and biochemical characterization of five essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) proteins. The search for drugs against the causal agent of tuberculosis is urgently needed and the targeting of essential genes is necessary to fulfill this goal. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Peptide Binders : Applied to Human CRP, Carbonic Anhydrase (II, IX) and Lysine Demethylase 1

    Author : Jie Yang; Jan Kihlberg; Morten Grötli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polypeptide conjugates; molecular recognition; peptide cyclization; protein targets;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a polypeptide binder concept is illustrated. By conjugation to a set of sixteen polypeptides, a small binding molecule can evolve into a polypeptide binder with increased affinity and selectivity. READ MORE

  7. 5. The importance of Foxi1 expression in kidney and inner ear

    Author : Sandra Rodrigo Blomqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Foxi1; intercalated cells; endolymphatic sac; acid base regulation;

    Abstract : The forkhead (FOX) genes comprise a family of transcription factors involved in generegulation in both embryonic and adult tissue. Foxi1 is expressed in the kidney andthe developing inner ear. We examined the significance of Foxi1 in these two organsand explain the molecular mechanisms behind the phenotype seen in Foxi1 deficientmice. READ MORE
