  1. 1. Development of benzoquinoquinoxaline derivatives as triplex-specific probes : Recognition of DNA structures at repeats sequences

    Författare :Helen Bergquist; Rula Zain; Keith Fox; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Triplex; H-DNA; BQQ; BQQ-OP; BQQ-Bodipy; triplet repeat; DNA; non-B-DNA; pkd1; frataxin; Friedreich s ataxia; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Repeat sequences are associated with several human diseases, such as Friedreich’s ataxia, polycystic kidney disease and cancer. These sequences can form non-B-DNA structures, including triplex (H-DNA) DNA, and are associated with genomic instability and altered gene expression. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The complex world of proteins: Structure, function, and oligomerization of frataxin

    Författare :Christopher Söderberg; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Frataxin; Friedreich s ataxia; self-assembly; protein-protein interaction; iron homeostasis; SAXS; cross-linking;

    Sammanfattning : Patients suffering from the deadly progressive neurodegenerative disease Friedreich's ataxia have reduced levels of expression of the protein frataxin. Yeast frataxin has been extensively studied in vitro, and has been shown to deliver iron to heme and iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis, as well as to oligomerize in the presence of iron. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Oligomerization of human and bacterial frataxin : Structural and functional studies

    Författare :Mostafa Abdalkhalik; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :Frataxin; Friedreich’s ataxia; iron; reactive oxiden species; protein oligomerization; SAXS; EM; cross-linking; XAFS; nano- DSF;

    Sammanfattning : Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by defeciency in frataxin, a highly conserved protein central to iron homeostasis in mirochondria. The function of frataxin is related to its capability to bind, store and deliver iron to different biochemical process such as iron-sulfur cluster assembly and heme biosynthesis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Targeting nucleic acids in bacteria with synthetic ligands

    Författare :Abbas Nikravesh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : There is a need for new antibacterial agents, and one attractive strategy is to develop nucleic acid ligands that inhibit pathogen genes selectively. Also, such ligands can be used as molecular biology probes to study gene function and nucleic acid structures. LÄS MER
