  2. 6. Conducting Redox Polymers for Electrical Energy Storage : Backbone - Substituent Interactions in Quinone Polypyrrole Model Systems

    Author : Christoffer Karlsson; Martin Sjödin; Petr Novák; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Organic energy storage; Hydroquinone polymers; Functionalized polypyrrole; Spectroelectrochemistry; Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance; In situ conductivity;

    Abstract : Organic electrical energy storage (EES) is a growing field of research that is expected to play an important role in the future, as the need for sustainable EES increases. Conducting redox polymers (CRPs), i.e. conducting polymers with incorporated redox active moieties e. READ MORE

  4. 7. Selenocompounds in leukemia treatment : advantages and pitfalls

    Author : Wenyi Zheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In 2018, cancer was reported to be the second top cause of morbidity and mortality globally with over 9 million deaths. Hematological malignancies including leukemia constitute about 7% of the total cancer cases. READ MORE

  5. 8. Electron Donor Systems in Natural and Artificial Photosynthesis

    Author : Ann Magnuson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; solar energy; artificial photosynthesis; Photosystem II; EPR; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical products, in photoautotrophic bacteria, algae and plants. The principal idea is the production of reducing agents by photo-induced oxidation of a sacrificial electron donor. READ MORE

  6. 9. Mammalian thioredoxin reductase as a drug target in anticancer therapy through direct apoptosis induction by selenium compromised forms of the protein

    Author : Karin Anestål; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Thioredoxin reductase; TrxR1; SecTRAPs; selenoproteins; apoptosis; caspase-2; glutathione reductase; cisplatin;

    Abstract : The mammalian thioredoxin system, consisting of thioredoxin(s), thioredoxin reductase(s) and NADPH, participates in the regulation of many important systems in a mammalian cell. The mammalian thioredoxin reductases (TrxR) are selenoproteins containing a selenocysteine (Sec) residue within a carboxyl terminal -Gly -Cys -Sec -Gly -COOH motif. READ MORE
