  2. 1. Engineering of the Ultra-stable Cystine Knot Framework of Microproteins : Design, Chemical Synthesis and Structural Studies

    Author : Teshome Leta Aboye; Ulf Göransson; Julio A. Camarero; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cyclotides; cystine knot; protein engineering; NMR; solid phase; disulfide rich; ultra-stable; microprotein; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Abstract : Ultra-stable cystine knotted microproteins, in which two disulfides and their connecting backbones form a circle that is penetrated by the third disulfide bonds, have attracted high interest due to their resistance to degradation in vitro and potential for the development of peptide drugs. This thesis gives new insights into engineering of that framework of microproteins, including approaches to their chemical synthesis, backbone engineering, structural and biological evaluations.

  4. 2. Adsorption of proteins on zeolite FAU

    Author : Daniel Klint; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; matrix preparation; cryo-electron microscopy; protein purification; zeolites; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : A highly dealuminated form of zeolite FAU, ultra-stable zeolite Y (USY), was used as an adsorbent matrix in the purification of proteins. Undesired proteins were removed from a crude preparation by adsorption on USY, increasing the purity of an unadsorbed protein (horse radish peroxidase), or the protein of interest was adsorbed on the zeolite and subsequently eluted through changes in the solution conditions (hen egg lysozyme, mouse-immunoglobulin G).

  5. 3. Light-Matter Interaction and Quantum Computing in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Crystals

    Author : Adam Kinos; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Crystals; Quantum Computing; Light-Matter Interaction; Fysicumarkivet A:2018:Kinos;

    Abstract : In this thesis, crystals of yttrium orthosilicate (Y2SiO5) that are randomly doped with another rare-earth element, such as praseodymium (Pr), europium (Eu), or cerium (Ce), are investigated with lasers locked to ultra-stable cavities using the Pound-Drever-Hall locking technique. Many of these rare-earth elements have long-lived 4f-4f transitions, hundreds of microseconds to a few milliseconds, with even longer ground hyperfine lifetimes of up to several days. READ MORE

  6. 4. Kraft lignin valorization by hydrotreatment over Mo-based sulfided catalysts

    Author : Muhammad Abdus Salam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Char; Bio-oil; Kraft Lignin; Hydrodeoxygenation; Y-zeolite; Metal sulfide; Depolymerization; Acidity;

    Abstract : The production of green fuels and chemicals from bio-based feedstock can suppress the dependency on fossil resources and help mitigate global climate challenges. Kraft lignin is a thermochemically modified natural lignin obtained from the pulping process as a byproduct. READ MORE

  7. 5. Slurry Hydrotreatment of Biomass Materials over Metal Sulfide-based Supported and Unsupported Catalysts

    Author : You Wayne Cheah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrotreatment; Kraft lignin; Transition metals; Slurry hydrocracking; Propylguaiacol; Advanced biofuels; MoS2; Reaction network; Pyrolysis oil; Unsupported TMS;

    Abstract : The scarcity of fossil feedstocks and the deterioration of the current global climate condition have prompted the search for reliable alternatives for fossil fuel replacement. Biomass feedstocks are abundant, carbon-rich, and renewable bioresources that can be used to produce renewable bio-oils that can fill the gap left by fossil-derived oils. READ MORE
