1. Molecular Recognition Mechanisms: Thermodynamics and Polarization Spectroscopy of DNA--Intercalator Complexes
Sammanfattning : Mechanisms for molecular recognition in DNA--intercalator complexes have been investigated by optical spectroscopy. The effect of electrical charge on binding geometry and binding thermodynamics was studied using 2,7-diazapyrene (DAP) and its N-methylated cations DAP+ and DAP2+ as model ligands. LÄS MER
2. Tuning of the Excited State Properties of Ruthenium(II)-Polypyridyl Complexes
Sammanfattning : Processes where a molecule absorbs visible light and then converts the solar energy into chemical energy are important in many biological systems, such as photosynthesis and also in many technical applications e.g. photovoltaics. LÄS MER
3. Bridge Mediated Electron Transfer in Conjugated and Cross-Conjugated Donor-Acceptor Compounds
Sammanfattning : Detailed understanding of electron transfer reactions is important in many aspects of chemistry, biology and solar energy conversion.The main aim of this thesis is to provide further insight into electron transfer through highly conjugated bridge structures. LÄS MER
4. Single and Accumulative Electron Transfer – Prerequisites for Artificial Photosynthesis
Sammanfattning : Photoinduced electron transfer is involved in a number of photochemical and photobiological processes. One example of this is photosynthesis, where the absorption of sunlight leads to the formation of charge-separated states by electron transfer. LÄS MER
5. Structural Transitions in Helical Peptides : The Influence of Water – Implications for Molecular Recognition and Protein Folding
Sammanfattning : Fluctuations in protein structure are vital to function. This contrasts the dominating structure-function paradigm, which connects the well-defined three-dimensional protein structure to its function. However, catalysis is observed in disordered enzymes, which lack a defined structure. LÄS MER
