  2. 6. Modelling electrooxidation of glycerol and methanol on close-packed transition metal surfaces

    Author : Mikael Valter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; implicit solvation; gold; Au 111 ; transition metals; biodiesel; electrochemistry; glycerol; DFT; van der Waals; methanol; scaling relations;

    Abstract : Burning fossil fuels leads to excess CO2 in the atmosphere, causing global warming, threatening civilisation and ecosystems worldwide. As a step in making the society fossil-independent, we need to replace oil, coal, and gas in the transportation sector with fuels originating from sustainable energy sources. READ MORE

  5. 8. Glycerol derivatives in the hydrogen autotransfer reaction - Development of C-C and C-N bond forming reactions

    Author : Anna Said Stålsmeden; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amination; organic synthesis; sustainable precursors; alkylation; hydrogen autotransfer; glycerol;

    Abstract : Glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) is obtained as a byproduct in the biodiesel industry. In the quest for more sustainable starting materials for organic synthesis, glycerol with its three alcohol functionalities is a promising candidate. READ MORE

  6. 9. Valorisation of Renewable Building Blocks via Transition Metal Catalysis – Glycerol- and Amino Acid Derived Compounds in Hydrogen Borrowing and RuAAC Reactions

    Author : Anna Said Stålsmeden; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amination; alkylation; RuAAC; 1 3-propanediol; renewable precursors; hydrogen borrowing; 1 2 3-triazole; solketal; glycerol; amino acid-derived azide;

    Abstract : To a large extent, organic building blocks are today obtained from petroleum-based products. From an environmental point of view, biomass-derived compounds are more sustainable alternatives to such oil-derived molecules. The 12 principles of green chemistry describe how chemical processes can be improved in terms of sustainability. READ MORE

  7. 10. Regulation of glycerol efflux in adipocytes. Structural and functional studies of the glycerol channel aquaporin 7

    Author : Sofia de Mare; Medicinsk strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glycerol : metabolism; Lipolysis; X-ray Crystallography; Perilipin 1; Aquaglyceroporin; Aquaporin 7; Adipocytes metabolism; Glycerol : metabolism; adipocyte metabolism; X-ray crystallography; Aquaglyceroporin; Aquaporin 7; Perilipin 1; Lipolysis;

    Abstract : Glycerol levels in adipocytes depend on the lipolysis, the hydrolysis of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids, and the efflux of glycerol across the plasma membrane through glycerol channels. The aims of this work were to investigate how glycerol levels are regulated on a molecular level by PLIN1, a major lipid droplet-associated protein and a key regulator of the lipolysis by scaffolding for lipolytic proteins on the lipid droplet.
