31. Aspects of proteinase-activated receptor-2: A sensor of enzymatic activity at the cell surface
Sammanfattning : Information about extracellular proteolytic activity is transduced to the cell by a transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor subfamily. These receptors are activated by proteolytic cleavage in the extracellular amino-terminal domain and are thus termed proteinase-activated receptors (PARs). LÄS MER
32. Modulation of Receptor Signaling and Functional Selectivity in Neutrophils
Sammanfattning : Neutrophils are important effector cells of the innate immune system and in the regulation of inflammation. Many of their functions, such as chemotactic migration, secretion of granule constituents and activation of the oxygen radical-producing NADPH-oxidase, are regulated by cell surface receptors.

33. Functional Studies of the Neuropeptide Y System : Receptor-Ligand Interaction and Regulation of Food Intake
Sammanfattning : The members of the mammalian neuropeptide Y family, i.e. the peptides neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), are all involved in regulation of food intake. In human and most other mammals they act via receptors Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. LÄS MER
34. Computational Modelling of Ligand Complexes with G-Protein Coupled Receptors, Ion Channels and Enzymes
Sammanfattning : Accurate predictions of binding free energies from computer simulations are an invaluable resource for understanding biochemical processes and drug action. The primary aim of the work described in the thesis was to predict and understand ligand binding to several proteins of major pharmaceutical importance using computational methods. LÄS MER
35. Assay development for studies of G protein-coupled receptors at the single-molecule level
Sammanfattning : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven transmembrane (7TM) receptors,is the largest family of cell surface receptors. These receptors play a key role in transmittinga wide variety of signals across the cell membrane and are involved in physiologicalprocesses such as sensory transduction, cell-cell communication, neuronal transmission,and hormonal signaling.
