  2. 6. Computational Protein Evolution : Modeling the Selectivity and Promiscuity of Engineered Enzymes

    Author : Klaudia Szeler; Shina C. Lynn Kamerlin; Mikael Widersten; Maria Ramos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzymes; kinetics; catalysis; density functional theory; empirical valence bond; diesters; evolution; promiscuity; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Enzymes are biological catalysts that significantly increase the rate of all biochemical reactions that take place within cells and are essential to maintain life. Many questions regarding their function remain unknown. READ MORE

  4. 7. Engineering enzymes towards biotherapeutic applications using ancestral sequence reconstruction

    Author : Natalie Hendrikse; Per-Olof Syrén; Johan Rockberg; Erik Nordling; Reinhard Sterner; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzyme engineering; enzyme evolution; ancestral sequence reconstruction; therapeutic enzymes; terpene cyclases; ammonia-lyases; sulfatases; lysosomal enzymes; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Enzymes are versatile biocatalysts that fulfill essential functions in all forms of life and, therefore, play an important role in health and disease. One specific application of enzymes in life science is their use as biopharmaceuticals, which typically benefits from high catalytic activity and stability. READ MORE

  5. 8. Studies of Retroviral Reverse Transcriptase and Flaviviral Protease Enzymes as Antiviral Drug Targets : Applications in Antiviral Drug Discovery & Therapy

    Author : Muhammad Junaid; Jarl ES Wikberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virus; enzymes; HIV AIDS; retroviral reverse transcriptase; flaviviral protease; NRTIs; proteochemometrics; drug resistance; DEN; JEV; NS2B H -NS3pro; antiviral; drug targets; drug discovery; drug therapy.; Farmakologi; Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Viruses are a major threat to humans due to their unique adaptability, evolvability and  capability to control their hosts as parasites and genetic elements. HIV/AIDS is the third largest cause of death by infectious diseases in the world, and drug resistance due to the viral mutations is still the leading cause of treatment failure. READ MORE

  6. 9. Ribosomal RNA Modification Enzymes : Structural and functional studies of two methyltransferases for 23S rRNA modification in Escherichia coli

    Author : Avinash S. Punekar; Maria Selmer; Martino Bolognesi; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Escherichia coli ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is post-transcriptionally modified by site-specific enzymes. The role of most modifications is not known and little is known about how these enzymes recognize their target substrates. READ MORE

  7. 10. Diversity of thermostable DNA enzymes from Icelandic hot springs

    Author : Sigridur Hjorleifsdottir; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermophiles; microbial diversity; SSU rRNA; Thermus; hot springs; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Biochemistry; enzymologi; Proteiner; enzymology; metabolism; Proteins; DNA enzymes; Biokemi;

    Abstract : The diversities of bacteria as well as thermostable DNA enzymes in Icelandic hot springs were studied using different techniques. First of all the bacterial diversity of different microbial mats as well as sediment samples was described by using both molecular methods and cultivation methods. READ MORE
