1. Membrane Induced Structure in Transmembrane Signaling Proteins and Peptides : Peptide–Lipid Interactions Studied by Spectroscopic Methods
Abstract : Biological membranes, defining the boundary of cells and eukaryotic organelles, are mainly composed of lipids and membrane proteins. Interactions between these lipids and proteins are needed to preserve the tight seal of the membrane, but also to induce structure for proper function in many membrane proteins. READ MORE

2. Structural and functional studies of biomolecules with NMR and CD spectroscopy
Abstract : Experimentally derived biomolecular structures were determined by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The properties of selected peptides and proteins in solution and in membrane mimicking micelles were observed by circular Dichroism (CD), mass spectrometry (MS), and other spectroscopic techniques.

3. Molecular aspects on voltage-sensor movement
Abstract : Voltage-gated ion channels are fundamental for electrical signaling in living cells. They are composed of four subunits, each holding six transmembrane helices, S1-S6. Each subunit contains a voltage-sensor domain, S1-S4, and a pore domain, S5-S6. READ MORE

4. Biophysical studies of membrane associated peptides
Abstract : A large part of the processes in living organisms involves proteins acting in a biological membrane. Biophysical studies on isolated model systems can give important understandings of the complicated biological mechanisms in the membrane. In this thesis peptide membrane interaction mechanisms are studied in several different systems. READ MORE

5. Structure and Dynamics of Membrane Associated Peptides
Abstract : The peptide-membrane interaction is a key element for many biological functions, from cell signaling to cell internalization. In this thesis the peptide-membrane interaction of six different peptides have been studied with respect to their structure, membrane location and dynamics with spectroscopic methods. READ MORE
