1. Structural and Biochemical Characterizations of Three Potential Drug Targets from Pathogens
Sammanfattning : As antibiotic resistance of various pathogens emerged globally, the need for new effective drugs with novel modes of action became urgent. In this thesis, we focus on infectious diseases, e.g. LÄS MER
2. Thermodynamical and structural properties of proteins and their role in food allergy
Sammanfattning : Proteins are important building blocks of all living organisms. They are composed of a defined sequence of different amino acids, and fold into a specific three-dimensional, ordered structure. The three-dimensional structure largely determines the function of the protein, but protein function always requires motion. LÄS MER
3. Exploring the mechanistic details of Gram-positive Type 4 Secretion Systems
Sammanfattning : Hospital acquired (i.e. nosocomial) infections and antibiotic resistance are large issues in the world today, with about 1.3 million people estimated to have died from antibiotic resistant infections in 2019 alone, and these problems are on the rise. LÄS MER
4. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase - characterization of variants and ligand binding
Sammanfattning : Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) belongs to the Class I S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase (SAM-MT) super family of structurally related proteins. Common to the members of this large protein family is the catalysis of methylation reactions using S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl group donor, although SAM-MTs act on a wide range of different substrates and carry out numerous biologically important functions. LÄS MER
5. Unveiling Mechanistic Details of Macromolecular Interactions: Structural Design and Molecular Modelling of DNA-Protein Systems in Their Active State
Sammanfattning : Molecular structure is fundamental for understanding mechanisms of molecular interactions. This applies not least to understanding biological function: every biological cell, whether bacterial or human, is an immensely complex system of thousands of molecules that exist in constant motion and interaction with each other.
