  2. 1. Heterocystous cyanobacteria, Dps proteins and H2 production

    Author : Christoph Howe; Karin Stensjö; Felix Howe; Nir Keren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : H2 production; Cyanobacteria; Dps; ferritin-like proteins; iron; nutrient limitation; oxidative stress; biofilm; photobioreactor; iron homeostasis; H2O2;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change, CO2-emitting technologies have to be exchanged by renewable alternatives such as H2. H2 can be produced by cyanobacteria, but major efforts to enhance H2 production yields by genetic modifications or optimised cultivation conditions resulted in energetic photo-to-H2 conversion efficiencies of 4.

  4. 2. Shining light on unknown function proteins

    Author : Riccardo Diamanti; Martin Högbom; Hans-Petter Hersleth; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proteins; membrane proteins; metalloproteins; biochemistry; metabolism; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The study of protein structure and function is a fundamental step for understanding biological systems and for creating a solid ground for future drug development. Despite the development of novel ground-breaking biochemical and bioinformatical tools in the last decades, most proteins found in nature still have unknown assigned function. READ MORE

  5. 3. Structural studies of R2 and R2–like proteins with a heterodinuclear Mn/Fe cofactor and enzymes involved in Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipid metabolism

    Author : Charlotta Selina Andersson; Martin Högbom; Brian Fox; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Tuberculosis is a notorious disease responsible for the deaths of 1.4 million people worldwide. A third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium causing the disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. To metal, or not to metal : Diverse mechanisms of O2-activation and radical storage in the ferritin superfamily

    Author : Vivek Srinivas; Martin Högbom; Brian Hoffman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metalloprotein; di-metal; Oxygen activation; Substrate oxidation; Ribonucleotide reductase; Radical; DOPA; ADE-DOT; X-Ray free-electron laser; soluble Methane monooxygenase; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Proteins in the Ferritin-like superfamily are characterized by a four alpha-helical structural motif. These proteins are distributed across all three kingdoms of life and perform a wide range of functions. READ MORE
