1. Optical Dyes for Visualization of Structure and Function of Biomolecules and Biological Membranes
Sammanfattning : To visualize the structure and function of biomolecules and biological membranes in the cell, optical dyes are important tools where in particular fluorescent probes provide a sensitive and selective detection. When cellular compartments are investigated it is crucial that the probe selectively binds to the area of interest and not exhibits unspecific binding affinity. LÄS MER
2. Structural and Functional Studies of Wilms Tumour Protein - WT1; Novel Insights into Functionality of Zinc Finger Proteins
Sammanfattning : The molecular process under which message in DNA is relayed onto RNA is called transcription, and it accomplished through involvement of so-called transcription factors. Zinc finger proteins are one of the most abundant classes of regulatory proteins in eukaryotic cells where they play central roles in a variety of cellular activities. LÄS MER
3. Xanthophyll Cycle in the Light of Thylakoid Membrane Lipids - Membrane Packing, Curvature Elastic Stress and Enzyme Binding
Sammanfattning : The xanthophyll cycle involves the light-dependent and reversible conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin. The enzyme, violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE) catalyses the conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, via the intermediate antheraxanthin. VDE is a membrane-hosted enzyme during its activity. LÄS MER
4. Computational Studies of Enzymatic Enolization Reactions and Inhibitor Binding to a Malarial Protease
Sammanfattning : Enolate formation by proton abstraction from an sp3-hybridized carbon atom situated next to a carbonyl or carboxylate group is an abundant process in nature. Since the corresponding nonenzymatic process in water is slow and unfavorable due to high intrinsic free energy barriers and high substrate pKa s, enzymes catalyzing such reaction steps must overcome both kinetic and thermodynamic obstacles.

5. Glycan dependent Helicobacter spp. and Streptococcus oralis binding to mucins in the gastric and oral mucosal niches
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori infects the stomach of half of the world’s population, while Helicobacter suis colonizes pigs and is the most common non-H. pylori Helicobacter species that also infects human stomach. Infection with Helicobacter spp. is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. LÄS MER
