16. Simulations of Simple Fluids and Surface Forces
Sammanfattning : A considerable part of all chemistry in nature and in industry occurs in solvents. Sol- vents affect both the interactions and the reactions of the particles immersed in them. The work in this thesis concerns the properties of ionic and polar solvents, as well as the interactions between solutes and/or dispersed particles. LÄS MER
17. Modelling the Protein-DNA Interface
Sammanfattning : Protein-DNA interactions are crucial to life. Several millions of DNA base pair steps are organ- ised, read and protected by proteins in every cell. Protein-DNA interactions must be specific, controllable and reasonably fast. Understanding how these features coexist is one of the great challenges for biochemists and molecular biologists. LÄS MER
18. WC grain growth during sintering of cemented carbides : Experiments and simulations
Sammanfattning : Cemented carbides are composite materials consisting of a hard carbide and a ductile binder. They are powdermetallurgically manufactured, where liquid-phase sintering is one of the main steps. The most common cemented carbide consists of WC and Co and it is widely used for cutting tools.

19. Fighting microbial infections with force fields: Evaluating conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins
Sammanfattning : The main goal of this compilation thesis has been to investigate the conformational ensemble of the intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) histatin 5 by using a mixture of experimental and computational techniques including, but not limited to, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and coarse-grained Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Histatin 5 is a peptide of particular interest for two reasons. LÄS MER
20. Deriving effective forces for mesoscopic particle simulations
Sammanfattning : In the field of molecular simulations, the long-standing aim has been to study mechanisms that cannot easily be observed in experiments or understood in terms of more abstract models. This is hard for systems of mesoscopic size (proteins, membranes etc. LÄS MER
