11. N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis in Organic Synthesis - A Green Chemistry Approach
Sammanfattning : The twelve principles of green chemistry were created as a response to the multiple environmental issues caused by the release of waste from the chemical industry. The principles acts as a guide in the development of sustainable chemical processes for the syntheses of important molecules needed to sustain our living standards. LÄS MER
12. Theoretical Modeling of Enzyme Catalysis with Focus on Radical Chemistry
Sammanfattning : Hybrid density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method is applied to study the four diverse enzyme systems: zinc-containing peptidases (thermolysin and stromelysin), methyl-coenzyme M reductase, ribonucleotide reductases (classes I and III), and superoxide dismutases (Cu,Zn- and Ni-dependent enzymes). Powerfull tools of modern quantum chemistry are used to address the questions of biological pathways at their molecular level, proposing a novel mechanism for methane production by methyl-coenzyme M reductase and providing additional insights into hydrolysis by zinc peptidases, substrate conversion by ribonucleotide reductases, and biological superoxide dismutation.

13. Amine Transaminases in Biocatalytic Amine Synthesis
Sammanfattning : The use of enzymes, nature´s own catalysts, both isolated or as whole cells to perform chemical transformations is called biocatalysis. As a complement to classical chemical catalysis, biocatalysis can be an environmentally friendly and more economical option in the production and synthesis of chemicals. LÄS MER
14. Probing the Alpha Class Glutathione Transferase Structure. Combinatorial Subunit Studies and Rational Redesign
Sammanfattning : The present work concerns two Alpha class enzymes, GST A1-1 and GST A4-4, of the glutathione transferase (GST) family, which are detoxication enzymes catalyzing the conjugation of the tripeptide glutathione with various electrophiles. The GST A1-1 structure was explored for protein engineering purposes and tailored for increased activity toward alkenals. LÄS MER
15. Calculations of Reaction Mechanisms and Entropic Effects in Enzyme Catalysis
Sammanfattning : Ground state destabilization is a hypothesis to explain enzyme catalysis. The most popular interpretation of it is the entropic effect, which states that enzymes accelerate biochemical reactions by bringing the reactants to a favorable position and orientation and the entropy cost of this is compensated by enthalpy of binding.
