1. Rational engineering of esterases for improved amidase specificity in amide synthesis and hydrolysis
Sammanfattning : Biocatalysis is an ever evolving field that uses enzymes or microorganisms for chemical synthesis. By utilizing enzymes that generally have evolved for specific reactions under mild conditions and temperatures, biocatalysis can be a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional chemistry. LÄS MER
2. On Catalytic Mechanisms for Rational Enzyme Design Strategies
Sammanfattning : Enzymes enable life by promoting chemical reactions that govern the metabolism of all living organisms. As green catalysts, they have been extensively used in industry. However, to reach their full potential, engineering is often required, which can benefit from a detailed understanding of the underlying reaction mechanism. LÄS MER
3. Peptidoglycan regulation of Drosophila immunity
Sammanfattning : Innate immunity is an ancient defense system that distinguishes between self and non self and is present in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Peptidoglycan (PGN), a cell wall component shared by both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, is the major recognition molecule for the detection of bacteria in Drosophila. LÄS MER
4. Innate immune gene expression and function studied in insects and mammals
Sammanfattning : Insects and mammals possess innate immune responses to effectively recognize and eliminate invading microorganisms. Insects, who share with mammals conserved molecules for immune defense, are good model systems for innate immunity studies. LÄS MER
5. Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins : Major Regulators of Drosophila Immunity
Sammanfattning : All eukaryotic organisms have an innate immune system characterized by germ-line encoded receptors and effector molecules, which mediate detection and clearance of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites. VertebrateDrosophila as a genetically tractable organism with a This thesis concerns the peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) gene family in the fruit fly. LÄS MER
