  2. 1. Membrane interactions of glycosyltransferases

    Author : Jobst Liebau; Lena Mäler; Christofer Lendel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lipid; bicelle; glycosyltransferase; NMR; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Abstract : Many important biological processes occur near or in membranes. The role of membranes is not merely confined to compartmentalization, they also form the matrix for membrane associated proteins and are of functional importance. Membrane associated proteins on the other hand require specific membrane properties for proper function. READ MORE

  4. 2. Synthesis of Orthogonally Functionalized Oligosaccharides for Self-assembled Monolayers and as Multimodal Tools in Chemical Biology

    Author : Timmy Fyrner; Peter Konradsson; Stefan Svensson; Bo Liedberg; Ulf Ellervik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Oligosaccharide synthesis; glycosylation; thioglycosides; orthogonally protected; oligo lactosides ; spacer molecule; heterobifunctional; surface plasmon resonance; lipid anchor; self-assembled monolayers; glyconanoparticles;

    Abstract : This thesis covers different topics in the field of synthetic organic chemistry combined with the field of surface science and glycobiology.First, the text presents a series of orthogonally protected oligosaccharides (tri-, penta-, and heptasaccharides) of varying length and structures, which are synthesized with the aim of developing novel heterobifunctional biocompatible cross-linkers.

  5. 3. Plant Oxylipins and Lipid Transfer Proteins in Defense : - It’s all about the fat

    Author : Per Fahlberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Oxylipins, the oxygenated metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are found in many eukaryotic organisms. In plants, several enzymes can produce different types of oxylipins, and the chloroplast structural galactolipids mono- and digalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG, respectively) are examples of sources of substrate PUFAs.

  6. 4. Self-assembly Strategies for Functional DNA Nanostructures

    Author : John Tumpane; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon nanotube; polarised spectroscopy; nanotechnology; self-assembly; orientation; lipid membrane; gel electrophoresis; DNA;

    Abstract : The technological revolution of the twentieth century was famously subject to Moore’s law which related the rate of growth to the ability to scale-down the size of the components – size matters. Several decades later we are, however, approaching the limit of what is possible with silicon wafers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bottom-up Fabrication of Functional DNA Nanostructures

    Author : Erik Lundberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; click chemistry; gel electrophoresis; self-assembly; cross-linking; lipid membrane; fixation; linear dichroism; nanotechnology; spectroscopy; fret; dna; triplex recognition;

    Abstract : This thesis demonstrates bottom-up fabrication of a fully addressable non-repetitive network on the nanometer scale, assembled by synthetic DNA molecules. Each side constitutes a unique sequence of 10 bases, i.e. 3. READ MORE
