  1. 1. Cob(I)alamin as a Quantitative Tool for Analysis, Metabolism and Toxicological Studies of Electrophilic Compounds : Butadiene Epoxides, Glycidamide and Sucralose

    Författare :Hitesh Vijay Motwani; Margareta Törnqvist; Bernard T Golding; Johanna Haglund; Wolfgang Buckel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry; miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : Vitamin B12 can be reduced to cob(I)alamin [Cbl(I)], which is one of the most powerful nucleophiles known and referred to as a “supernucleophile”. Cbl(I) was applied as a tool in toxicological studies of the air pollutant 1,3-butadiene (BD), the toxicant acrylamide (AA) present in many foods, and the artificial sweetener sucralose. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Biochemical Studies on a Plant Epoxide Hydrolase : Discovery of a Proton Entry and Exit Pathway and the Use of In vitro Evolution to Shift Enantioselectivity

    Författare :Ann Gurell; Mikael Widersten; Bengt Mannervik; Dick Janssen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; epoxide hydrolase; enantioselectivity; in vitro evolution; proton wire; epoxides; selectivity; CASTing; structure-function; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The work leading to this thesis has provided additional information and novel knowledge concerning structure-function relationship in the potato epoxide hydrolase. Epoxide hydrolases are enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of epoxides to yield the corresponding vicinal diols. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Chemo-Enzymatic Epoxidation of Unsaturated Fatty Acids

    Författare :Cecilia Orellana Coca Åkerman; Bioteknik; []

    Sammanfattning : Epoxy fatty acids are useful molecules and find a number of applications e.g. as PVC plasticisers and stabilisers, additives in polyurethane production, reactive diluents in paints, corrosion protection agents, etc. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Stereoselective Nucleophilic Additions to α-Amino Aldehydes: Application to Natural Product Synthesis

    Författare :Per Restorp; Peter Somfai; Timothy J. Donohoe; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stereoselective synthesis; Substrate-control; α-Amino aldehydes; Mukaiyama aldol; Allylsilanes; [3 2]-Annulation; -Alexine; DGDP; Vinyl epoxides; Regioselectivity; Alkyne nucleophiles; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the development and application of new synthetic methodology for stereo- or regioselective construction of carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. The first part of this thesis describes the development of a divergent protocol for stereoselective synthesis of chiral aminodiols by employing Mukaiyama aldol additions to syn- and anti-α-amino-β-silyloxy aldehydes.

  7. 5. Quantitative analysis of DNA adducts formed by some epoxides of industrial importance

    Författare :Kamila Plná; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :DNA adducts; 32P-postlabelling; cancer; genotoxicity; occupational; epoxides; allyl glycidyl ether; propylene oxide; epichlorohydrin;

    Sammanfattning : The work presented herein has focused on DNA adduct formation by three industrial epoxides, allyl glycidyl ether, propylene oxide and epichlorohydrin. Epoxides, owing to the strained oxirane ring are chemically reactive and can alkylate various sites in DNA. LÄS MER
