  2. 1. Steady-State Diffusion in Complex Amphiphilic Films

    Author : Christoffer Åberg; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; film formation; lung surfactant; skin surface pH; stratum corneum; responding membrane; diffusive transport; phase transition;

    Abstract : The relation between structure and diffusive transport at steady-state is investigated theoretically for amphiphilic systems. Amphiphilic systems typically show a large response to moderate changes in control parameters, such as temperature, osmotic pressure, and the presence of cosolvents and cosolutes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Responding Model Membranes. Lipid Phase Behaviour, Domain Formation and Permeability

    Author : Emma Sparr; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water and solute flux; Gradients; Monolayer; Two-dimensional crystals; Line activiy; Osmotic stress; Interlamellar forces; Phospholipid-cholesterol interactions; Phase transitions; Bilayer stack; Stratum corneum; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the interplay between the lipid phase behaviour, domain formation and the permeability of bilayer membranes. An essential part of this work has been the understanding of the phase transitions and equilibrium properties of lipid bilayers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on 15-lipoxygenase in dendritic cells and leukotriene receptors in Hodgkin lymphoma

    Author : Frida Schain; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is histologically characterized by a minority of malignant cells, the so-called Hodgkin-Reed Sternberg (H-RS) cells, surrounded by inflammatory cells such as T lymphocytes, eosinophils, macrophages and mast cells. It is generally believed that various molecules released by the H-RS cells are of major importance in the pathophysiology of cHL. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme : From Proteomics to Energy Transfer

    Author : Tanai Cardona; Ann Magnuson; Matthias Rögner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nostoc punctiforme; heterocyst; photosynthesis; thylakoid; isolation; proteomics; photosystem; energy transfer; hydrogen; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to provide a thorough characterization of the photosynthetic machinery from the heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme strain ATCC 29133. In this thesis I describe the protocols I have optimized for the isolation of thylakoids from vegetative cells, the purification of heterocysts and the isolation of thylakoids from the purified heterocysts.

  7. 5. Time Resolved Diffraction Studies of Structural Changes in Sensory Rhodopsin

    Author : Robert Bosman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rhodopsin; SRII; SRII-HtrII; Time-resolved crystallography; Time-resolved wide angle x-ray scattering; TR-X; TR-WAXS; Serial crystallography;

    Abstract : Responding to different light conditions is an essential process for many organisms on earth. Unicellular organisms are no exception to this and mechanisms for controlling cellular movement must often be sensitive to light. READ MORE
