16. In silico protein design for the enhancement of protein stability and function
Sammanfattning : Enzymes are natures catalysts that increase the rate of a chemical reaction. The increased rate of a reaction is required to be able to sustain life. Despite the huge impact of enzymes, they are not perfect catalysts. LÄS MER
17. Methods for elucidating membrane protein structure and function
Sammanfattning : Elucidation of the structure-function relationship of membrane proteins increases our understanding of many biological processes, both physiological and pathological. However, membrane proteins have been notoriously difficult to study, having part of their structure embedded into the lipid cell membrane. LÄS MER
18. Calculations of Reaction Mechanisms and Entropic Effects in Enzyme Catalysis
Sammanfattning : Ground state destabilization is a hypothesis to explain enzyme catalysis. The most popular interpretation of it is the entropic effect, which states that enzymes accelerate biochemical reactions by bringing the reactants to a favorable position and orientation and the entropy cost of this is compensated by enthalpy of binding.

19. Into the Membrane and Beyond : Improving Membrane Protein Over-Expression in Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins fulfil a wide variety of essential functions in the cell and many are (potential) drug targets. Since their natural abundance is usually very low, most membrane proteins have to be over-expressed for functional and structural studies. LÄS MER
20. Computational Modeling of the Structure, Function and Dynamics of Biomolecular Systems
Sammanfattning : Proteins are a structurally diverse and functionally versatile class of biomolecules. They perform a variety of life-sustaining biological processes with utmost efficiency. A profound understanding of protein function requires knowledge of its structure. LÄS MER
