  1. 16. Structural studies of small viruses using an X-ray Free Electron Laser

    Författare :Anna Munke; Marvin Seibert; Dirk Hasse; Inger Andersson; Carl Caleman; Maria Selmer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : X-ray crystallography has since its introduction been the most successful technique for solving protein structures. Viruses however, often possess structural components such as fibrils, tails and envelopes that make them difficult or impossible to crystallize. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Antibiotic Resistance and the Cellular Currency S-adenosyl-methionine : Modification of aminoglycosides and nucleic acids

    Författare :Sandesh Kanchugal P; Maria Selmer; Ditlev Brodersen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; streptomycin; spectinomycin; X-ray crystallography; methyltransferase; Biology with specialization in Structural Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot strukturbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Streptomycin and spectinomycin are antibiotics that bind to ribosomes and inhibit protein synthesis. Common resistance mechanisms involve enzymatic modification of the two drugs by aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferases (ANTs). The first part of this thesis covers the structural mechanism of two ANT enzymes. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of ALC1 nucleosome remodeling

    Författare :Luka Bacic; Sebastian Deindl; Stefan D. Knight; Lari Lehtiö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ALC1; CHD1L; nucleosome; ADP-ribosylation; chromatin; remodeling; PARP1; HPF1; DNA damage; Biology with specialization in Structural Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot strukturbiologi; Biology with specialization in Structural Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot strukturbiologi; Biology with specialization in Structural Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot strukturbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Packaging DNA into chromatin represses essential DNA-based processes, such as transcription, DNA replication, and repair. To change the accessibility of DNA, cells have evolved a set of enzymes referred to as chromatin remodelers that act on the basic repeat unit of chromatin,  the nucleosome. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Meiotic Recombination in Human and Dog : Targets, Consequences and Implications for Genome Evolution

    Författare :Jonas Berglund; Matthew Webster; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Leif Andersson; Nadia Singh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; recombination; biased gene conversion; CpG island; copy number variation; substitutions; methylation; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the mechanism of recombination has important implications for genome evolution and genomic variability. The work presented in this thesis studies the properties of recombination by investigating the effects it has on genome evolution in humans and dogs. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Conservation genomics in inbred Scandinavian wolves using bioinformatic methods

    Författare :Linnéa Smeds; Hans Ellegren; Giorgio Bertorelle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conservation genomics; Canis lupus; bioinformatics; Y chromosome; admixture; genetic load; structural variation; GWAS; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : With the recent and unprecedented progress in retrieving DNA sequence information from a large number of individuals of any species, conservation genetic research has entered a new phase. Specifically, it has become possible to study how genomes of endangered species respond to reductions in population size. LÄS MER
