  1. 1. Structural and biochemical insights into biosynthesis and degradation of N-glycans

    Författare :Tom Reichenbach; Christina Divne; David Drew; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; N-glycan; biosynthesis; degradation; glycosyltransferase; glycoside hydrolase; biofuel; enzyme; membrane protein; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Carbohydrates are a primary energy source for all living organisms, but importantly, they also participate in a number of life-sustaining biological processes, e.g. cell signaling and cell-wall synthesis. The first part of the thesis examines glycosyltransferases that play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of N-glycans. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Regulation of proton-coupled electron transfer in cytochrome c oxidase : The role of membrane potential, proton pathways and ATP

    Författare :Markus Björck; Peter Brzezinski; Thorsten Friedrich; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytochrome c oxidase; charge transfer; membrane potential; membrane protein; mitochondria; ATP; proton pump; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Cytochrome c oxidase (CytcO) is the final electron acceptor of the respiratory chain. In this chain a current of electrons, derived from degradation of nutrients, along with protons, are used to reduce oxygen to water. The reaction is exergonic and the excess energy is used to pump protons across the membrane. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PEM fuel cell; contaminants; ammonia; nitrogen dioxide; degradation; recovery; bipolar plates; electroplating; Ni-Mo; Ni-Mo-P; internal contact resistance; PEM bränslecell; föroreningar; ammoniak; kvävedioxid; degradering; återhämtning; bipolära plattor; elektroplätering; Ni-Mo; Ni-Mo-P; interna kontaktmotståndet; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through two electrocatalytic reactions. The most common catalyst used is platinum on carbon (Pt/C), which has shown the best performance in the fuel cell until now. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Investigations of proton conducting polymers and gas diffusion electrodes in the polymer electrolyte fuel cell

    Författare :Peter Gode; Göran Lindbergh; Steven Holdcraft; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical chemistry; polymer electrolyte fuel cell; proton conducting membrane; porous electrode; gas permeability; degradation; water transport; Teoretisk kemi; Theoretical chemistry; Teoretisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) convert the chemically bound energy in a fuel, e.g. hydrogen, directly into electricity by an electrochemical process. Examples of future applications are energy conversion such as combined heat and power generation (CHP), zero emission vehicles (ZEV) and consumer electronics. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Basement membrane collagens in pancreatic cancer : novel stroma-derived tumor markers and regulators of cancer cell growth

    Författare :Daniel Öhlund; Malin Sund; Peter Naredi; Matthias Löhr; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pancreatic cancer; tumor marker; basement membrane; type IV collagen; type XVIII collagen; matrix metalloproteinase; integrin; autocrine loop; tumor stroma; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Among the common malignancies, pancreatic cancer has the shortest long-term survival. The aggressive, rapid, and infiltrative growth pattern of pancreatic cancer, together with the lack of specific symptoms, often leads to late diagnosis. LÄS MER
