6. Cytochrome c Oxidase dysfunction in cancer : Exploring the molecular mechanisms
Abstract : Mutations in genes encoding the mitochondrial enzyme Cytochrome c Oxidase (CytcO) have lately been found in connection to various types of cancer. Some mutations result in substitutions of highly conserved amino-acid residues. READ MORE

7. Catalytic Combustion in Gas Turbines : Experimental Study on Gasified Biomass Utilization
Abstract : Environmental and geopolitical concerns encourage societies towards the utilization of renewable energy sources (RES). Photovoltaic and wind power can produce electricity directly, although their intermittent characteristic negatively affects the security and safety of the energy supply chain; moreover, in order to be viable it is necessary to establish energy storage systems and to find mechanisms to adapt the power distribution grid to larger production variability.

8. Computational Studies on Homogeneous Water Oxidation Catalysts
Abstract : To combat the increasing energy demand and climate change, artificial photosynthesis is a promising approach to producing renewables by storing energy into chemicals and fuels. Water oxidation, responsible for offering electrons and protons to the reduction reactions, suffers from slow kinetics. READ MORE

9. Mechanisms of Integrin Signal Transduction
Abstract : Integrins are a protein family of cell surface receptors, expressed in all cell types in the human body, except the red blood cells. Besides their importance in mediating physical connections with the surrounding environment, the integrin family members are also vital signalling mediators. READ MORE

10. Regulatory mechanisms of amino acid-induced signaling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : This thesis describes studies aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms that regulate the SPS (Ssy1-Ptr3-Ssy5) signal transduction pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This pathway is induced by extracellular amino acids and facilitates their uptake. READ MORE
