16. The use of evolutionary information in protein alignments and homology identification
Abstract : For the vast majority of proteins no experimental information about the three-dimensional structure is known, but only its sequence. Therefore, the easiest way to obtain some understanding of the structure and function of these proteins is by relating them to well studied proteins. This can be done by searching for homologous proteins. READ MORE

17. Identification and characterisation of the novel mammalian gene family Elovl
Abstract : Comparative analysis is one of the foremost tools in biology. The most common comparative method is sequence alignment, which can be performed in many ways. By using any sort of alignments, competing sequences are evaluated by scoring schemes for estimating similarity. READ MORE

18. Bioinformatic methods in protein characterization
Abstract : Bioinformatics is an emerging interdisciplinary research field in which mathematics. computer science and biology meet. In this thesis. bioinformatic methods for analysis of functional and structural properties among proteins will be presented. READ MORE

19. New methods for protein structure threading and domain identification
Abstract : The availability of three-dimensional structures of proteins has provided enormous insight into the detailed molecular machinery of the living cell. Since the late 1950s and early 1960s, experimental methods for deriving protein structures have contributed more than 30,000 entries to the Protein Data Bank, representing the collected knowledge of protein and other macromolecular structures.

20. Integrated Optical Slot-Waveguide Ring Resonator Sensor Arrays for Lab-on-Chip Applications
Abstract : This thesis treats the development of an integrated optical sensor array. The sensors are slot-waveguide ring resonators, integrated with on-chip surface grating couplers and light splitters, for alignment tolerant, real-time, refractive index sensing, and label-free biosensing. READ MORE
