  1. 21. Protein tyrosine kinases and the regulation of signalling and adhesion in drosophila melanogaster

    Författare :Caroline Grabbe; Ruth Palmer; Tapio Heino; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila; Signalling; Adhesion; Protein Tyrosine Kinase; Development; Endocytosis; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : In order to build a multi-cellular organism and to regulate cellular functions, cells need to communicate with each other, as well as tightly regulate their behaviour in response to environmental changes. For these purposes all eukaryotic cells express a large number of membrane spanning receptors that either themselves contain catalytic activity or via cytoplasmic effector enzymes, function to transmit “signals” from the cell exterior to induce appropriate responses within the cell.

  2. 22. Antibody-Fragments: Protein Engineering, Process Development, and their Application as Affinity Ligands

    Författare :Laila Sakhnini; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Monoclonal Antibodies; Aggregation; Biophysical Characterisation; Process Development; Affinity Adsorbents; Monoclonal Antibodies; Aggregation; Biophysical Characterisation; Process Development; Affinity Adsorbents;

    Sammanfattning : Monoclonal antibody (mAb) fragments have become the formats of choice for both biopharmaceuticals and ligands in analytical and preparative applications. Their smaller size enables additional advantages over full-length mAbs, such as improved tissue penetration, faster blood clearance for diagnostic applications, improved capacity, and enablement of multivalent formatting.

  3. 23. Ligand-based Methods for Data Management and Modelling

    Författare :Jonathan Alvarsson; Jarl E. S. Wikberg; Ola Spjuth; Claes Andersson; Martin Eklund; John P. Overington; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QSAR; ligand-based drug discovery; bioclipse; information system; cheminformatics; bioinformatics; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical Pharmacology; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics;

    Sammanfattning : Drug discovery is a complicated and expensive process in the billion dollar range. One way of making the drug development process more efficient is better information handling, modelling and visualisation. The majority of todays drugs are small molecules, which interact with drug targets to cause an effect. LÄS MER

  4. 24. Computational Modelling of Ligand Complexes with G-Protein Coupled Receptors, Ion Channels and Enzymes

    Författare :Lars Boukharta; Johan Åqvist; Christopher A. Reynolds; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer simulations; molecular dynamics; ligand binding; free energy perturbation; linear interaction energy; binding free energy; homology modelling; structure prediction; alanine scanning; site-directed mutagenesis; hERG; GPCR; neuropeptide Y; HIV-1 reverse transcriptase; integron integrase; Molecular Biotechnology; Molekylär bioteknik;

    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

  5. 25. Regulation of human mast cell development

    Författare :Malin Hjertson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Mast cells; hematopoiesis; chemotaxis; SCF; FL; GM-CSF; IL-3; RA; SDF-1; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cells are multifunctional effector cells of the immune system and are best known for theirparticipation in allergic reactions. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how the stem cell factor(SCF)-dependent development of mast cells from cord blood can be regulated by different factors, and tostudy how immature mast cells circulating in the blood can be recruited into the tissue.
