  2. 1. Stochastic modeling of motor proteins

    Author : Martin Lindén; Mats Wallin; Dean Astumian; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular motor; motor protein; Markov process; fluctuations; statistical mechanics; microscopic reversibility; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Motor proteins are microscopic biological machines that convert chemical energy into mechanical motion and work. They power a diverse range of biological processes, for example the swimming and crawling motion of bacteria, intracellular transport, and muscle contraction. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis presents studies of molecular motors in interaction with nm-scale structures, as well as the development of a set of tools that can be used for the construction of custom-designed nano-transportation systems. In our studies, we have used the latest nanoscale technology and combined this with advanced results from chemistry and biomedical sciences. READ MORE

  5. 3. Technology for biocomputational devices based on molecular motors

    Author : Frida Lindberg; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular motors; Nanofabrication; Biocomputation; Nanostructures; Fysicumarkivet A:2019:Lindberg;

    Abstract : For many multivariable problems there are no efficient algorithms for finding solutions. To this day, conventional electronic computers mainly solve problems in a sequential manner. This sequential operation prevents problem-solving within a reasonable time-frame due to superpolynomial, and sometimes even exponential, time complexities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Neural Control of Movement : Motor Neuron Subtypes, Proprioception and Recurrent Inhibition

    Author : Anders Enjin; Klas Kullander; Samuel L. Pfaff; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor neuron; proprioception; recurrent inhibition; molecular marker; Ia afferent; development; transgenic mice; Renshaw cell; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Movement is central for life, and all animals depend on accurate regulation of movement for purposeful behavior. There is great diversity of movements, ranging between simple and vital breathing movements to minute and subtle movements of the face used to communicate emotions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of invasin and YopH of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis on host cell signaling

    Author : Anna Gustavsson; Maria Fällman; Arnoud Sonnenberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; β1-integrin; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; Invasin; YopH; Cell-Matrix Adhesion; Filopodia; Cell Spreading; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Integrins are a large family of membrane-spanning heterodimeric (αβ) receptors that bind to ligands on other cells or to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. These receptors mediate bidirectional signaling over the cell membrane to induce signaling cascades mediating functions as cell adhesion, spreading and migration. READ MORE
