  2. 1. Stereoselective Nucleophilic Additions to Aldehydes and Synthesis of α-Amino-β- Hydroxy-Esters

    Author : Jakob Danielsson; Peter Somfai; Hans Adolfsson; Tobias Rein; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asymmetric induction; stereochemical models; Mukaiyama; polar Felkin-Anh; Cornforth-Evans; 1; 3-dipole; aziridine; cycloaddition; amino alcohol; carbonylation; Heck reaction; quaternary stereocenter;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the development of new reaction methodology as well as stereochemical investigations. The first part concerns the investigation of 1,2- and merged 1,2- and 1,3- asymmetric induction in Mukaiyama aldol additions to α-heteroatom and α,β- heteroatom substituted aldehydes respectively.

  4. 2. Quantum Chemical Modeling of Asymmetric Enzymatic Reactions

    Author : Maria E. S. Lind; Fahmi Professor; Rajeev Prabhakar; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biocatalysis; enantioselectivity; density functional theory; B3LYP; enzyme; hydrolysis; decarboxylation; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Computational methods are very useful tools in the study of enzymatic reactions, as they can provide a detailed understanding of reaction mechanisms and the sources of various selectivities. In this thesis, density functional theory has been employed to examine four different enzymes of potential importance for biocatalytic applications. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interactions of chiral ions and molecules in gas phase : Towards an understanding of chiral recognition mechanism

    Author : Oleksii Rebrov; Mats Larsson; Richard Thomas; Vitali Zhaunerchyk; Anne Zehnacker-Rentien; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis comprises the research related to interactions of enantiopure amino acids with chiral and achiral molecules in gas phase. The investigation of the mechanism responsible for chiral discrimination is of the special interest in this work. READ MORE

  6. 4. The MHC-glycopeptide-T cell interaction in collagen induced arthritis : a study using glycopeptides, isosteres and statistical molecular design in a mouse model for rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Lotta Holm; Jan Kihlberg; Morten Grötli; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; collagen; T-cell; class II MHC; solid phase peptide synthesis; glycopeptide; peptide isostere; PCA; statistical molecular design; PLS; QSAR; sequence binding motif; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately 1% of the population in the western world. It is characterised by a tissue specific attack of cartilage in peripheral joints. Collagen induced arthritis (CIA) is one of the most commonly used animal models for (RA), with similar symptoms and histopathology. READ MORE
