  2. 1. Cationic Interactions with Nucleic Acids With Focus on Anticancer Active Platinum(II) Complexes

    Author : Åse Sykfont Snygg; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; in-line cleavage; Cisplatin; oxaliplatin; circular dichroism; DENSPM; polyamines; siRNA; pseudoknot; RNA; thermal melting; anticancer active Pt II complex; DNA;

    Abstract : It is well documented that the antitumour activity of the Pt(II)-complex cisplatin, and similar anticancer active complexes, is a result of metalation of DNA, and thereby inhibition of cell proliferation. Since nucleic acids are polyanions at physiological pH, the rate of adduct formation with positively charged complex, as the hydrolyzed Pt(II) complexes studied in this work, is influenced by the ionic environment surrounding the polymer.

  4. 2. Eukaryotic Ribosome Biogenesis : Focus on the function of the assembly factor Mrd1p

    Author : Åsa Segerstolpe; Lars Wieslander; Susan Gerbi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ribosome biogenesis; nucleolus; pre-rRNA processing; RNA-binding proteins; Mrd1; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The ribosome, the protein factory of the cell, is essential for all life forms. The ribosome is a large RNA-protein machine. It is built in a complex, multi-step process that involves a large number of accessory trans-acting factors and the synthesis consumes a considerable part of the cellular energy. READ MORE
