  2. 1. Insulin Polymorphism Crystallographic Characterization of Insulin Microcrystals

    Author : Mathias Norrman; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Strukturkemi; Structure chemistry; biomatematik; protein crystallography; X-ray powder diffraction; Bioinformatics; medical informatics; microcrystals; Bioinformatik; Molekylär biofysik; Molecular biophysics; biomathematics biometrics; medicinsk informatik; insulin;

    Abstract : Insulin is a protein needed for the uptake of glucose from the circulating blood. In absence of sufficiently high insulin levels in the body or when the cells have a reduced sensitivity for insulin a disease state referred to as diabetes occurs. Treatment of diabetes generally requires daily injections of exogenous insulin. READ MORE

  4. 2. Photophysics of Perovskite Nano- and Microcrystals

    Abstract : The demand and consumption of energy is increasing dramatically all around the world. Broad adoption of fossil fuels has triggered an enormous threat to the environment. To ensure sustainability of our species and habitat, new solutions to fulfill the energy demand have to be found. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lipidic Cubic Phase Microcrystallization and its Application in Serial Crystallography

    Author : Rebecka Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Structural biology; Lipidic Cubic Phase; Cytochrome c oxidase; Serial Crystallography;

    Abstract : Every living organism contain a cell membrane which is an important cell structure with a vast variety of different functions such as cell signaling, transportation and energy production. One of the most important functions is to produce energy for the cell to thrive. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microcrystallization in lipidic cubic phase and serial crystallography studies of cytochrome c oxidase

    Author : Cecilia Safari; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Serial crystallography; Cytochrome c oxidase; Microcrystallization in lipidic cubic phase;

    Abstract : Life in all living organisms depend on chemical processes performed by proteins, which are molecular machineries encoded in the DNA. Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is a membrane protein essential for cellular respiration, a process in which chemical energy enters the electron transport chain in the form of electrons and is transformed to ATP via a proton gradient.

  7. 5. Micro-Crystallization and Time-Resolved Diffraction Studies of a Bacterial Photosynthetic Reaction Center

    Author : Petra Båth; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Photosynthesis is one of the most important set of chemical reactions in nature as they can convert sunlight into hydrocarbons and chemical energy. The proteins responsible for this are two general types of reaction centers that can be found in a wide variety of living organisms capable of photosynthesis, from bacteria to algae and plants.
