  1. 1. Unlocking protein sequences : Advances in protein structure and ligand-binding site prediction

    Författare :Aditi Shenoy; Arne Elofsson; Geoffrey J Barton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics;

    Sammanfattning : The protein sequence determines how it will fold into its unique three-dimensional structure. Once folded, proteins perform their functions by interacting with other proteins or molecules called ligands within the cell. Experimental determination of protein structure and function is tedious.

  3. 2. Modulating Sirtuin Activity - Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Sirtuin 2 Inhibitors

    Författare :Tina Seifert; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sirtuin; SIRT2; Inhibitors; Chroman-4-ones; Chromones; Benzothiadiazine-1; 1-dioxides; Saccharin; Scaffold; Structure-activity relationship; Antiproliferative properties; Binding site; Homology modeling; Photoaffinity labeling; Diazirine; Mass spectrometry;

    Sammanfattning : Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent lysine deacetylating enzymes targeting histones and a multitude of non-histone proteins. The SIRTs have been related to important cellular processes such as gene expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. They are proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of e.g. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Visualization of Peripheral Pain Generating Processes and Inflammation in Musculoskeletal Tissue using [11C]-D-deprenyl PET

    Författare :Mikko Aarnio; Torsten Gordh; Jens Sörensen; Magnus Peterson; Lars Ståhle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ankle injuries; arthritis; binding site; binding target; carbon-11; deprenyl; high-throughput screening; inflammation; monoamine oxi-dase; pain; PET; whiplash; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

    Sammanfattning : An objective visualization and quantification of pain-generating processes in the periphery would alter pain diagnosis and represent an important paradigm shift in pain research. Positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand [11C]-D-deprenyl has shown an elevated uptake in painful inflammatory arthritis and whiplash-associated disorder. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Discovery of Small Peptides and Peptidomimetics Targeting the Substance P 1-7 Binding Site : Focus on Design, Synthesis, Structure-Activity Relationships and Drug-Like Properties

    Författare :Rebecca Fransson; Anja Sandström; John S Svendsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; substance P 1-7; peptidomimetics; structure-activity relationship; drug-like properties; phenylalanine; imidazole; MAP aryl amides; carbonylation; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Sammanfattning : Biologically active peptides are important for many physiological functions in the human body and therefore serve as interesting starting points in drug discovery processes. In this work the neuropeptide substance P 1–7 (SP1–7, H-Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-OH), which has been demonstrated to reduce neuropathic pain and attenuate opioid withdrawal symptoms in animal models, has been addressed in a medicinal chemistry program with the overall aim of transforming this bioactive peptide into more drug-like compounds.

  7. 5. Rational and combinatorial genetic engineering approaches for improved recombinant protein production and purification

    Författare :Nina Bandmann; Per-Åke Nygren; Helena Berglund; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aqueous two-phase system; combinatorial library; expression vector; flow cytometry; fusion tag; partitioning; peptide library; phage display; recombinant proteins; ribosomal binding site; translation initiation; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) is in many situations an ideal host for production of recombinant proteins, since it generally provides a rapid and economical means to achieve sufficiently high product quantities. LÄS MER
