11. Tales from the Sweet Side of Life : Structure and dynamics of carbohydrate-based systems
Abstract : The field of glycomics has experienced significant developments in the last few decades, revealing a profound and elaborate language behind the intrinsic complexity of the glycans structures. This ‘sugar code’ is at the basis of intercellular interaction and recognition. For this language to be understood, its chemical basis must be unveiled. READ MORE

12. New Paradigms in GPCR Drug Discovery : Structure Prediction and Design of Ligands with Tailored Properties
Abstract : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large superfamily of membrane proteins with key roles in cellular signaling. Upon activation by a ligand, GPCRs transduce signals from the extracellular to the intracellular environment. READ MORE

13. Structural Transitions in Helical Peptides : The Influence of Water – Implications for Molecular Recognition and Protein Folding
Abstract : Fluctuations in protein structure are vital to function. This contrasts the dominating structure-function paradigm, which connects the well-defined three-dimensional protein structure to its function. However, catalysis is observed in disordered enzymes, which lack a defined structure. READ MORE

14. 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.

15. Dynamics of Disordered Materials in Confined Geometries
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with effects of geometrical confinement on dynamics in disordered materials in the nanoscopic range. Of particular interest is the dynamics around the liquid to glass transition. Two systems have been investigated: thin polymer films and polymer gels. READ MORE
