  2. 21. EmrE, a puzzling transporter : Assembly, biogenesis and evolution of a dual-topology membrane protein

    Author : Pilar Lloris-Garcerá; Gunnar von Heijne; Da-Neng Wang; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Biological membranes are the key to cell existence, as they are able to both isolate and connect their interior with the environment. Membranes are composed of lipids and proteins that create a semi-permeable barrier; because the lipid bilayer stops free diffusion of most molecules and ions, membrane proteins play an important role in connecting the interior of the cell with its environment.

  4. 22. Conformational changes in Staphylococcus aureus' alpha-toxin : from water-soluble monomer to a transmembrane channel

    Author : Beatrix Vécsey Semjén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcal alpha-toxin membrane-protein interaction pore formingtoxins.;

    Abstract : Alpha-toxin is secreted by Staphylococcus aureus as a soluble monomer that without further activation can oligomerize and form a transmembrane channel. One of the aims of the present work was to understand the underlying mechanisms of the membrane insertion process. READ MORE

    Abstract : In this Ph.D. thesis, ab initio density functional theory along with molecular dynamics and global optimization methods are used to unveil and understand the structures and properties of energy relevant materials. In this connection, the following applications are considered: i. READ MORE

  6. 24. LiFeSO4F as a Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries : Synthesis, Structure, and Function

    Author : Adam Sobkowiak; Fredrik Björefors; Kristina Edström; Anna Andersson; M. Rosa Palacin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Li-ion battery; cathode; LiFeSO4F; tavorite; triplite; synthesis; performance; structure; coating; PEDOT; XRD; Mössbauer spectrocopy; SEM; TEM; electrochemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot materialkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two recently discovered polymorphs of LiFeSO4F, adopting a tavorite- and triplite-type structure, were investigated as potential candidates for use as cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. The studies aimed at enriching the fundamental understanding of the synthetic preparations, structural properties, and electrochemical functionality of these materials. READ MORE
