  2. 16. Artificial blood vessels - Studies on endothelial cell and blood interactions with bacterial cellulose

    Author : Helen Fink; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : bacterial cellulose; endothelial cells; thrombogenicity; xyloglucan; contact activation; imaging of coagulation; vascular grafts; RGD; cell adhesion; bioreactor; xyloglucan;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are still the number one cause of death or invalidity in the western world today. Atherosclerotic plaques and restenosis can result in severe occlusions of peripheral and coronary arteries. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease and includes drug therapy and bypass surgery. READ MORE

    Abstract : In this thesis, bio-nanocomposites made from two alternative biopolymers and montmorillonite (Mnt) clay have been investigated by molecular modelling. These biopolymers are xyloglucan (XG) and chitosan (CHS), both of which are abundant, renewable, and cost-effective. READ MORE

  5. 18. Heterologous expression and characterization of xyloglucan endotransglycosylases from Populus tremula x tremuloides

    Author : Åsa Kallas; KTH; []
    Keywords : xyloglucan endotransglycosylase; transglycosylation; hybrid aspen; cell expansion; heterologous expression; Pichia pastoris; N-glycosylation; X-ray crystallography;

    Abstract : Xyloglucan endotransglycosylases (XETs) are enzymes involvedin the reorganization of the primary cell wall. This thesisdescribes several aspects of XET16A from hybrid aspen (Populustremula x tremuloides). The gene was isolated from the hybridaspen cDNA library and the protein was expressed heterologouslyin the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. READ MORE

  6. 19. Structural Studies of a Xyloglucan Endotransglycosylase from Populus tremula x tremuloides and Three Conserved Hypothetical Proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Author : Patrik Johansson; Alwyn Jones; Sherry Mowbray; Pedro Alzari; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cell and molecular biology; xyloglucan endotransglycosylase; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; epoxide hydrolase; fatty acid metabolism; fatty acid oxidation; crystallography; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the structural studies of four different proteins from two organisms. Xyloglucan endotransglycosylases, XETs, are involved in plant cell wall expansion and remodeling by splitting and reconnecting xyloglucan-cellulose crosslinks. The first crystal structure of a XET enzyme has been determined to 1.8 Å. READ MORE

  7. 20. Production and engineering of a xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase from Populus tremula x tremuloides

    Author : Maria Henriksson; Tuula Teeri; KTH; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase; retaining glycoside hydrolase; glycosynthase; Pichia pastoris; fed-batch fermentation; expanded-bed adsorption; Plant biotechnology; Växtbioteknik;

    Abstract : The aim of this work was to develop a production process for the enzyme xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase from Populus tremula x tremuloides (PttXET16-34). The natural transglycosylating activity of this enzyme has previously been employed in a XET-Technology. READ MORE
