2. 1. Bioanalysis using capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry : Applied on proteins, protein nanofibrils and polyvinyl alcohol microbubbles

   Author : Leila Josefsson; Åsa Emmer; Ulrika Nilsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; : amyloid; capillary electrophoresis; contrast agents; detection; human blood plasma; ionic liquids; mass spectrometry; microbubbles; polyvinyl alcohol microbubbles; protein nanofibrils; proteins; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The sequencing of the genome of various species, including the human species, have led to increased understanding about how a protein structure is generated, and how specific structures are related to the proteins’ functionality. In paper I and II of this thesis, the folding of proteins in vitro to form hierarchical nanostructures, which in vivo often have a pathological effect, have been studied. READ MORE

4. 2. Interaction Between Microgels and Oppositely Charged Proteins

   Author : Christian Johansson; Per Hansson; Brian Saunders; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microgel; protein; uptake; distribution; core-shell; colloidal stability; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis reports on interactions between microgels and oppositely charged proteins. Two types of negatively charged microgels are investigated: poly(acrylic acid) microgels of 60-80 µm in diameter, and colloidal poly(NIPAM-co-acrylic acid) microgels of around 1 µm in diameter.

5. 3. Exploring the Propanediol Utilization Pathway in Lactobacillus reuteri

   Author : Lu Chen; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : Lactobacillus reuteri; propanediol utilization pathway; microcompartment; shell proteins; glycerol; 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde; 3-hydroxypropionic acid; 1; 3-propanediol; glycerol dehydratase; 1; 3-propanediol oxidoreductase; propionaldehyde dehydrogenase; redox balance; substrate selectivity;

   Abstract : Concerns regarding environmental issues have led to increasing efforts for investigating sustainable production routes for the future industry that is based on renewable resources. Among the biobased chemicals, the C3-chemicals 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA), 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) and 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), have been identified as top candidates for the chemical industry.

6. 4. Engineered core : shell nanoparticles: synthesis, characterisation, and biocompatibility studies

   Author : Carmen Mihaela Vogt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have emerged as promising contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Some SPIONs are already approved for clinical use. Coating of these nanoparticles with an additional biocompatible layer serves to improve the colloidal stability and biocompatibility. READ MORE

   Abstract : The thesis concerns polyelectrolyte gels in contact with oppositely charged proteins and surfactant micelles, and includes of four papers (I-IV). In paper I confocal Raman spectroscopy was introduced as a method to trace micelles and investigate the structure of gel-surfactant complexes, in phase separated gel spheres. READ MORE
