  2. 1. Quantum Chemical Studies of Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms

    Author : Bianca Manta; Fahmi Himo; Lubomir Rulisek; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density functional theory; B3LYP; enzyme; cluster approach; mechanism; zinc; manganese; cytosine deaminase; ω-transaminase; dinitrogenase reductase-activating glycohydrolase; dual substrate recognition; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Computer modeling of enzymes is a valuable complement to experiments. Quantum chemical studies of enzymatic reactions can provide a detailed description of the reaction mechanism and elucidate the roles of various residues in the active site. READ MORE

  4. 2. Crystal structures of human deoxyribonucleotidases

    Author : Agnes Rinaldo-Matthis; Pär Nordlund; David K Stammers; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : crystal structure;

    Abstract : Human 5’-deoxyribonucleotidases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the dephosphorylation of deoxyribonucleoside monophosphates to their nucleoside form. They participate in the regulation of deoxyribonucleotide pools and protect DNA replication from inbalance of precursors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Antibiotic Resistance and the Cellular Currency S-adenosyl-methionine : Modification of aminoglycosides and nucleic acids

    Author : Sandesh Kanchugal P; Maria Selmer; Ditlev Brodersen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; streptomycin; spectinomycin; X-ray crystallography; methyltransferase; Biology with specialization in Structural Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot strukturbiologi;

    Abstract : Streptomycin and spectinomycin are antibiotics that bind to ribosomes and inhibit protein synthesis. Common resistance mechanisms involve enzymatic modification of the two drugs by aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferases (ANTs). The first part of this thesis covers the structural mechanism of two ANT enzymes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Leukotriene A4 hydrolase : studies of structure-function relationships by site-directed mutagenesis and X-ray crystallography

    Author : Peter C Rudberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is the pathophysiological mechanism by which an organism clears and rebuilds a site of infection or injury. It is also the characteristic feature of a multitude of severe diseases, with the potential of afflicting almost any organ system. READ MORE
