  2. 11. X-ray structure analysis of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases

    Author : Jordi Benach-Andreu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : crystal structure; short-chain dehydrogenases reductases; Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase; catalytic reaction mechanism; Comamonas testosteroni 3[beta] 17[beta]hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase;

    Abstract : X-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis were used to better understand the structure/function relationships in the family of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR). This group of enzymes constitutes a protein family with at least 60 members with highly diverse functions in pro- and eukaryotes. READ MORE

  4. 12. Palladium-catalyzed lignin valorization : Towards a lignin-based biorefinery

    Author : Maxim Galkin; Joseph Samec; Rafael Luque; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Lignin; Heterogeneous Catalysis; Palladium; Biomass; Depolymerization; Reduction; Oxidation; Biorefinery; Transfer Hydrogenolysis; Organic Chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : The work described in this thesis focuses on the cleavage of the β-O-4′ bond, which is the most abundant interunit linkage in the lignin polymer.In the first part, three methods based on palladium catalysis have been developed and their applicability has been verified using lignin model compounds.

  5. 13. Syntheses of functionalized Phe-Gly dipeptidomimetics

    Author : Wei Berts; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Organic Pharmaceutical Chemistry; organisk farmaceutisk kemi;

    Abstract : The complete series of Boc-protected C-4 mono- and difluoroallyl Phe-Gly dipeptidomimetics and their corresponding saturated derivatives has been synthesized. A mechanism that rationalizes the formation of the two isomeric allylic mono-fluorides from an allylic alcohol with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) has been investigated. READ MORE

  6. 14. Oxidation of Ketones: A (Chemo-) Enzymatic Approach Using Oxygenases and Hydrolases

    Author : Georgina Chávez; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cross linked enzyme aggregates.; caprolactone; perhydrolase; Lipase B from Candida antarctica;

    Abstract : Oxidation reactions are important in organic chemistry as well as in nature. In industry, oxidations are commonly used for the synthesis of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, however such processes have a number of limitations, they use chlorinated solvents, stoichiometric oxidation reagents, and in some cases the reagents that have risks of explosion during transportation and storage.
