  2. 6. Molecular principles of protein stability and protein-protein interactions

    Author : Christofer Lendel; Per-Åke Nygren; Christopher M. Dobson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; affibody; binding thermodynamics; induced fit; molten globule; NMR spectroscopy; protein engineering; protein-protein interactions; protein stability; protein structure.; Structural biochemistry; Strukturbiokemi;

    Abstract : Proteins with highly specific binding properties constitute the basis for many important applications in biotechnology and medicine. Immunoglobulins have so far been the obvious choice but recent advances in protein engineering have provided several novel constructs that indeed challenge antibodies. READ MORE

  4. 7. Protein-Protein Interactions Affecting Protein-Surface Interactions

    Author : Peter H. Warkentin; Jeff M. Schakenraad; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is the behaviour of proteins towards surfaces in the presence of other protein species. General protein-protein interactions of some plasma proteins are investigated in the first four papers. The proteins, immunoglobulin G, albumin, and fibrinogen, are analysed in solutions of single proteins as well as controlled mixtures. READ MORE

  5. 8. Diving into short linear motifs : Large-scale identification of endogenous and host-pathogen protein-protein interactions and further characterized by deep mutational scanning

    Author : Caroline Benz; Ylva Ivarsson; Birthe B. Kragelund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein-protein interactions; short linear motif; endogenous interactions; host-pathogen; viral hijacking; deep mutational scanning; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Short linear motifs (SLiMs) are protein-protein interaction sites that play an essential role in distinct cellular processes. Those interactions are challenging to capture by common high-throughput methods. READ MORE

  6. 9. Molecular Probing of Local Protein-Protein Interactions : Studies of the tissue factor, factor VIIa complex formation

    Author : Maria Österlund; Mikael Oliveberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Protein-protein interactions are intrinsic to virtually all cellular processes. However, very little is known about the dynamics of the formation of protein complexes or the order of events that direct the association between two protein molecules (the association pathway), especially when different interacting surfaces are involved.

  7. 10. Structure determination and thermodynamic stabilization of an engineered protein-protein complex

    Author : Elisabet Wahlberg; Per-Åke Nygren; Bengt-Harald Jonsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; affibody; protein structure; coupled folding; NMR spectroscopy; protein stability; protein-protein interactions; binding thermodynamics; isothermal titration calorimetry; protein engineering; Structural biochemistry; Strukturbiokemi;

    Abstract : The interaction between two 6 kDa proteins has been investigated. The studied complex of micromolar affinity (Kd) consists of the Z domain derived from staphylococcal protein A and the related protein ZSPA-1, belonging to a group of binding proteins denoted affibody molecules generated via combinatorial engineering of the Z domain.
