11. Drug discovery against leishmaniasis : Bio- and chemoinformatic guided strategies for target evaluation and hit identification
Sammanfattning : Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease mainly affecting poor people in developing countries. It is caused by infections of flagellated protozoa belonging to genus Leishmania. The few available drugs are associated with problems such as low effectiveness, severe side effects and resistance development. LÄS MER
12. In silico Identification of Thyroid Disrupting Chemicals : among industrial chemicals and household dust contaminants
Sammanfattning : Thyroid disruptions by xenobiotics have been associated with a broad spectrum of severe adverse human health effects, such as impaired brain development and metabolic syndrome. Ingestion of indoor dust and contact with industrial chemicals are two significant human exposure routes of thyroid hormone disrupting chemicals (THDCs), raising serious concerns for human health.

13. Mutational effects on protein structure and function
Sammanfattning : In this thesis several important proteins are investigated from a structural perspective. Some of the proteins are disease related while other have important but not completely characterised functions. LÄS MER
14. Discovery of Chemical Probes through Structure-based Virtual Screening of Vast Compound Databases
Sammanfattning : Bioactive molecules have traditionally been discovered through labor-intensive screening methods in which individual compounds are tested against specific protein targets or cells to identify those that produce the desired biological effect. However, these approaches have significant limitations. LÄS MER
15. Structure and Function of Aqua(glycero)porins - A Path to Drug Design
Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins are a major class of the drug targets. Rational design of drugs requires knowledge about the structure and function of these proteins. Working with membrane proteins, however, is experimentally challenging as the required technology is still emerging. LÄS MER
