  2. 1. Intracellular Uptake and Membrane Binding of Cell-penetrating Peptides: The Influence of Arginines, Tryptophans and Proteoglycans

    Author : Hanna Rydberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell-penetrating peptides; membrane-binding; cellular uptake; proteoglycans; tryptophan; arginine-rich peptide;

    Abstract : One of the major limitations in the realization of functional gene therapy is efficient intracellular transport of the therapeutic macromolecules. Amongst several different techniques, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have emerged as promising candidates for this purpose. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of membrane-binding proteins involved in synaptic vesicle recycling

    Author : Fredrik Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Signaling between neurons occurs at synapses. A presynaptic nerve terminal releases neurotransmitter, which diffuses over the synaptic cleft, and binds to postsynaptic receptors. Release occurs by fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. READ MORE

  5. 3. Anticoagulant protein C--structural and functional studies

    Author : Lei Shen; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; enzymology; Proteins; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; serpins; membrane binding; factor V; protein C; protein S; Proteiner; enzymologi;

    Abstract : Anticoagulant protein C is a vitamin K-dependent factor circulating in plasma as a zymogen of a serine protease. It is converted to its active form (APC) by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex on the surface of endothelial cells. APC inhibits the generation of thrombin by selective proteolytic inactivation procoagulant factors Va and VIIIa. READ MORE

  7. 5. The function of annexin I in human neutrophils. Studies of membrane binding

    Author : Charlotta Movitz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Human neutrophils; secretion; annexin I; grancalcin; subcellular organelles; lipid rafts; DIM;

    Abstract : The neutrophil granulocyte plays an important role in host defense against infections induced by invading microorganisms. The defense mechanism is dependent on the migration of neutrophils from the blood stream to the infected area, where the intruder is phagocytosed and killed. READ MORE
