1. 5-Aminolevulinic acid and derivatives thereof : properties, lipid permeability and enzymatic reactions
Sammanfattning : 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and derivatives thereof are widely usedprodrugs in treatment of pre-malignant skin diseases of the cancer treatmentmethod photodynamic therapy (PDT). The target molecule in 5-ALAPDTis protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is synthesized endogenously from5-ALA via the heme pathway in the cell. LÄS MER
2. A theoretical study of 5-Aminolevulinic acid and its esters : properties and lipid permeability
Sammanfattning : 5-aminolevulinic acid (5ALA) is a widely used prodrug in Photodynamic therapy (PDT). The target molecule in 5ALA-PDT is Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is synthesized endogenously via the heme pathway in the cell. LÄS MER
3. Computational studies of photodynamic drugs, phototoxic reactions and drug design
Sammanfattning : The most important criterion when designing new drugs or improving old ones in order to prevent side effects or at least diminish them is drug safety. Treatment of all diseases generally needs use of either topical application or systemic medications (transported in the blood) during a certain period of time. LÄS MER
4. Protein-water interactions studied by molecular dynamics simulations
Sammanfattning : Most proteins have evolved to function optimally in aqueous environments, and the interactions between protein and water therefore play a fundamental role in the stability, dynamics, and function of proteins. Although we understand many details of water, we understand much less about the protein-water interface. LÄS MER
5. On the mechanism of Urea-induced protein denaturation
Sammanfattning : It is well known that folded proteins in water are destabilized by the addition of urea. When a protein loses its ability to perform its biological activity due to a change in its structure, it is said to denaturate. LÄS MER
