  2. 16. Hydrogenases in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. Strain PCC 73102

    Author : Fredrik Oxelfelt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; fysiologisk botanik; Physiological Botany;

    Abstract : Many cyanobacteria are capable of fixing atmospheric N2, a reaction that is also producing H2. This hydrogen is often metabolized by an enzyme called hydrogenase. The aim of the present work was to identify and characterize hydrogen metabolism/hydrogenases in the free-living N2-fixing cyanobacterium Nostoc sp.strain PCC 73102. READ MORE

  4. 17. Transition Metal Hydrides : Biomimetic Studies and Catalytic Applications

    Author : Jesper Ekström; Hans Adolfsson; Jonathan Williams; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transition metals; catalysis; bioinorganic chemistry; hydrides; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, studies of the nature of different transition metal-hydride complexes are described. The first part deals with the enantioswitchable behaviour of rhodium complexes derived from amino acids, applied in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones. READ MORE

  5. 18. Biocatalysed redox reactions - Possibilities and limitations

    Author : Fabian Rundbäck; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The use of enzymes for synthetic applications is an area of increasing interest. Enzymes have been pointed out to be an environmentally friendly alternative to existing chemical methods, as well as making completely new synthetic routes possible. READ MORE

  6. 19. Expression and synthetic activation of [FeFe]-hydrogenases in cyanobacteria

    Author : Adam Wegelius; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Namita Khanna; Matthew Posewitz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

    Abstract : Photosynthetic microbes can be utilized for hydrogen production, generating a clean, carbon neutral energy carrier from abundant substrates. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with large potential for biotechnological energy applications and several strains are capable of hydrogen production. READ MORE

  7. 20. Reaction mechanism of metalloenzymes studied by theoretical methods

    Author : Geng Dong; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : Metalloenzymes; Reaction mechanism; QM MM; DFT; DMRG; CAS-srDFT; Big-QM; QTCP;

    Abstract : Metalloenzymes catalyse a wide variety of reactions in nature. In the thesis, I have studied the reaction mechanism of three metalloenzymes, viz. READ MORE
