1. Visualizing structural dynamics: from small molecules to membrane proteins
Abstract : To fully understand the mechanism of a chemical reaction, it is important to characterize the rapid structural dynamics of transient chemical species as the reaction propagates. Since chemical processes are heavily influenced by the solvent in which they occur, the interaction with the surrounding solution also needs to be elucidated. READ MORE

2. Structural and functional studies of proteins of medical relevance : Protein-ligand complexes in cancer and novel structural folds in bacteria
Abstract : X-ray crystallography is a tool for determining the structures of proteins and protein-ligand complexes. In this thesis the method has been employed to study several proteins of medical relevance.Cancer is a terrible disease, severely impacting those affected, as well as their family and friends.

3. Structural assessment procedures for existing concrete bridges : Experiences from failure tests of the Kiruna Bridge
Abstract : Assessing existing bridges is an important task in the sustainable management ofinfrastructure. In practice, structural bridge assessments are usually conducted usingtraditional and standardised methods, despite knowledge that these methods oftenprovide conservative estimates. READ MORE

4. Structural and Biochemical Studies of Antibiotic Resistance and Ribosomal Frameshifting
Abstract : Protein synthesis, translation, performed by the ribosome, is a fundamental process of life and one of the main targets of antibacterial drugs. This thesis provides structural and biochemical understanding of three aspects of bacterial translation.Elongation factor G (EF-G) is the target for the antibiotic fusidic acid (FA). READ MORE

5. Determining the effects of regulatory parameters on the structural dynamics of P-type ATPase membrane transporters
Abstract : Proteins are macromolecular machines with roles in all cellular activities and structures. The functional properties of each protein is the result of its combination of 3D-structure and inherent dynamics, and a wealth of structural and dynamic mechanisms have evolved to regulate protein activity.
