1. Exotic Ribosomal Enzymology
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : This thesis clarifies intriguing enzymology of the ribosome, the multiRNA/multiprotein complex that catalyzes protein synthesis (translation). The large ribosomal RNAs (23S and 16S rRNAs in E. coli) are post-transcriptionally modified by many specific modification enzymes, yet the functions of the modifications remain enigmatic. READ MORE

2. β-Mannoside hydrolases from clan A – Structural enzymology, subsite engineering and transglycosylation
University dissertation from Department of Chemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : β-Mannoside hydrolases are enzymes that are involved in conversion of the major soft-wood hemicellulose O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan, an important renewable biomass resource. They belong to clan A of glycoside hydrolases and share a common (β/α)8-TIM barrel fold. READ MORE

3. The digestive machinery of a human gut bacterium : Structural enzymology of galactomannan utilisation
University dissertation from Lund University, Faculty of Science, Department of ChemistryAbstract : Human gut bacteria utilise different types of polysaccharides present in our diet. One of these polysaccharides is galactomannan. Many organisms in the phylum Bacteroidetes have gene clusters encoding for all proteins required for hydrolysis, binding and transport of one type of polysaccharide, called polysaccharide utilisation loci (PULs).

4. Structure and Function of Beta-Mannanases from Glycoside Hydrolase Clan A. A Study of Hemicellulases from Microbes and a Mollusc
University dissertation from Department of Biochemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : Hemicellulose is the second most abundant group of renewable polysaccharides. Mannans can be found as the major hemicellulose in softwood and as storage polysaccharides in a range of plants. In this work, structural and functional characterisations of family 5 and 26 endo-1,4-b-mannanases (b-mannanases) have been performed. READ MORE

5. Hemicelluloses from Agricultural and Forestry Crops Isolation, Characterisation, and Enzymatic Hydrolysis
University dissertation from Department of Biochemistry, Lund UniversityAbstract : Hemicelluloses are tremendous sources of renewable raw materials, which utilisation have the potential to be highly increased in the future. Hemicelluloses are among the major groups of compounds in plant cell walls, together with cellulose and lignin. These three components are closely associated, making them difficult to separate from each other. READ MORE
