21. RNA in model lipid membranes - interactions in bulk and at surfaces
Sammanfattning : The work presented in the thesis “RNA in model lipid membranes- interactions in bulk and at surfaces” aims to characterize the interaction between RNA and model membranes with different properties as well as to determine if ssRNA associate with model membranes in different ways. Several techniques have been used to characterize these systems, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), Langmuir film balance in combination with neutron reflectometry and fluorescence microscopy as well as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).

22. On the Formation of Supported Phospholipid Bilayers
Sammanfattning : Lipid bilayers are a central component of both the structure and function of biological membranes, like the one surrounding cells of living organisms. Since the lipid bilayer provides a host matrix for membrane proteins, which perform many of the specialized tasks in cells like energy, signal and material transduction, researchers have tried to develop artificial model membranes to study a variety of membrane protein functions.

23. Co-assembly of proteins and lipids : From lipodiscs to amyloid aggregates
Sammanfattning : Assemblies of different molecules is a prevalent phenomenon in nature, and crucial in biological life. Most of the biological assemblies are co-assembledcomposites, made up from several different components, either of thesame biomolecular type or a combination of different ones. LÄS MER
24. Development of Surface-Based Methods for Studies of Non-Electrolyte Membrane Transport
Sammanfattning : Membrane-transport proteins are a diverse family of proteins that all span the cell membrane where they control the transfer of nutrients, metabolites and ions into and out of the cell. Due to their vital role for the function of cells, reliable methods, preferably with high-throughput capacity, to study this class of proteins are essential in fundamental studies as well as in discovery and development of new drugs.

25. Porphyrin Anchored DNA: Advances in DNA Nanotechnology
Sammanfattning : DNA nanotechnology has focused on the creation of complex structures using DNA as building blocks. DNA is an attractive construction material at the nano scale due to the self-assembly and specific base-pairing of the DNA bases, allowing the placement of functional groups with sub-nm precision.
