1. Conducting Polymers Containing In-Chain Metal Centres : Electropolymerisation and Charge Transport
Sammanfattning : Conjugated polymers that exhibit high electronic conductivities play key roles in the emerging field of molecular electronics. In particular, linking metal centres with useful electrochemical, photophysical, or catalytic properties to the backbone, or within the polymer chain itself, is a topic which has attracted a significant amount of interest lately.

2. NADH:quinone oxidoreductase: the black box of the respiratory chain
Sammanfattning : Complex I or NADH:quinone oxidoreductase the largest, most complex and least understood of the five membrane-bound enzyme complexes constituting the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The enzyme is present in all types of organisms, from bacteria to mammals. LÄS MER
3. Electron transport in π-conjugated systems
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with theoretical studies of electron localization and conductance in conjugated molecular systems. Anderson localization of electrons is examined for nearly one-dimensional systems. This work was performed to understand the peculiar electronic properties of conducting polymers. LÄS MER
4. Prokaryotic respiratory supercomplexes : Studies of interactions between complexes III and IV
Sammanfattning : Respiratory processes for cellular energy conversion are carried out by the membrane-associated enzymes of the electron transfer chain (ETC). In recent years there has been emerging data showing that the members of the ETC organize into higher-level assemblies called supercomplexes (SCs) whose functional relevance is not yet fully understood.

5. On the antiporter-like subunits of respiratory chain Complex I - implications for the evolution and coupling mechanism of the NADH:quinone oxidoreductase enzyme complex
Sammanfattning : Complex I or NADH:quinone oxidoreductase is the largest enzyme complex, but the least understood energy coupling site in the respiratory chain of mitochondria and bacteria. No high-resolution structural information exists for this enzyme and the molecular mechanism that couples electron transfer and proton pumping is not understood. LÄS MER
