1. 16. Molecular simulations of G protein-coupled receptors : A journey into structure-based ligand design and receptor function

   Författare :Pierre Matricon; Jens Carlsson; Bjørn Olav Brandsdal; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; G Protein-Coupled Receptor; Molecular Dynamics Simulations; Free Energy Perturbation; Ligand Binding; Fragment-Based Lead Discovery; Molecular Docking Screens; Homology Modeling; GPCR Activation Mechanism; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

   Sammanfattning : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) contains a large number of important drug targets. These cell surface receptors recognize extracellular signaling molecules, which stimulates intracellular pathways that play major roles in human physiology. LÄS MER

3. 17. FGFs and Wnts in pancreatic growth and β-cell function

   Författare :Stella Papadopoulou; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Wnt; FGF; pancreas; Notch; signal transduction; development; proliferation; progenitors; β-cells; feedback; GSIS; diabetes; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Mesenchymal-epithelial interactions are pivotal for proper pancreatic growth and development. The pancreatic progenitor cells present in the early pancreatic anlagen proliferate and eventually give rise to all pancreatic cell types. LÄS MER

4. 18. Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Aromatic Ketones : Catalyst Development and Mechanistic Studies

   Författare :Sofia Nordin; Torbjörn Frejd; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; transfer hydrogenation; aza-norbornyl structure; amino acid derivatives; amino alcohols; ruthenium; concerted mechanism; asymmetric catalysis.; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the development and evaluation of new chiral Ru(arene)(amino alcohol) catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones using isopropanol as the hydrogen source. Two mechanistic studies of the Ru(arene)(amino alcohol) catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone were also conducted. The Ru(arene)[(1S,3R,4R)-3. LÄS MER

5. 19. Selective transfer hydrogenations : Catalyst development and mechanistic investigations

   Författare :Jenny Wettergren; Hans Adolfsson; Serafino Gladiali; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; asymmetric catalysis; transfer hydrogenation; transition metal; amino acids; amino alcohols; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : By generating a library of amino acid-based ligands, pseudo-dipeptides, and combining them with transition metals, we have created selective and efficient ruthenium and rhodium catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones. The ruthenium-catalyzed reaction was studied in detail, and we found that alkali metals play a crucial role for the reactivity and selectivity of the reaction. LÄS MER

7. 20. Iridium Catalyzed Carbon- Heteroatom Bond Forming Reactions via Hydrogen Transfer : Method Development and Mechanistic Elucidations

   Författare :Aitor Bermejo López; Belén Martín‐Matute; Eduardo Peris; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Catalysis; N-Heterocyclic carbene; N-Alkylation; Hydrogen transfer; Amino acids; Carbohydrates; Amines; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : The present thesis describes the applicability of two different iridium(III) complexes for C-O and C-N bond forming reactions. The different projects described in this work are united by the use of an iridium catalyst bearing a functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. LÄS MER
