2. 1. Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans Isomerases in the Chloroplast Thylakoid Lumen

   Author : Anna Edvardsson; Alexander Vener; Bertil Andersson; Per Gardeström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity; Cyclophilin; FKBP; Immunophilin; Chloroplast Thylakoid Lumen; protein characterization; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

   Abstract : The Sun is the ultimate energy source on Earth. Photosynthetic organisms are able to catalyze the conversion of solar energy to chemical energy by a reaction called photosynthesis. In plants, this process occurs inside a green organelle called the chloroplast. READ MORE

4. 2. Structural and Functional Studies of Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase A and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose- 5-phosphate reductoisomerase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

   Author : Lena M Henriksson; Torsten Unge; Sherry L. Mowbray; Barbara Seaton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Molecular biology; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Rv0009; peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase; Rv2870c; 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase; non-mevalonate pathway; DOXP MEP pathway; X-ray crystallography; Molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative pathogen of tuberculosis, currently infects one-third of the world’s population, resulting in two million deaths annually. This clearly shows that tuberculosis is one of the most serious diseases of our times. READ MORE

5. 3. Disturbed Islet Function and Alterations in Islet Protein Expression

   Author : Henrik Ortsäter; Peter Bergsten; Franz Schuit; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell biology; islet; glucose; oleate; corticosterone; oxygen tension; insulin release; protein profiling; Clark-like electrodes; SELDI-TOF MS; PPI-B; 11β-HSD1; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

   Abstract : Pancreatic β-cells sense the concentration of glucose in the systemic circulation through metabolism of the sugar molecule. Failure to correlate the blood sugar concentration to an appropriate metabolic signal disrupts the function of the β-cell as a controller of glucose homeostasis and may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

6. 4. Overview and characterisation of the thylakoid lumen of higher plants

   Author : Ulrika Petersson; Wolfgang Schröder; Christine H. Foyer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arablidopsis; thylakoid lumen; AtCYP20-2; Peroxiredoxin Q; oxidative stress; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

   Abstract : In higher plants, chloroplasts are the site for the photosynthetic reactions, converting solar energy to chemical energy. Within the chloroplast the thylakoid membrane network encloses the soluble lumen compartment. READ MORE

7. 5. Reversible modifications of chloroplast proteins and assessment of their functions

   Author : Björn Ingelsson; Alexander Vener; Christiane Funk; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Oxygenic photosynthesis is the process of solar energy conversion into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. This event is carried out by plants, algae and cyanobacteria and represents the starting point of the food chain in which most organisms are fed. READ MORE
