1. Quantum dot biomarkers for tracking endothelial progenitor cells and activated endothelium
Sammanfattning : The development of new visualization techniques is essential in the field of bioimaging to gain deeper knowledge about various medical and biological events at the cellular and molecular levels. Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals which are opening new perspectives in biotechnology due to their powerful optical properties and high stability. LÄS MER
2. Tunable and modular assembly of polypeptides and polypeptide-hybrid biomaterials
Sammanfattning : Biomaterials are materials that are specifically designed to be in contact with biological systems and have for a long time been used in medicine. Examples of biomaterials range from sophisticated prostheses used for replacing outworn body parts to ordinary contact lenses. Currently it is possible to create biomaterials that can e.g. LÄS MER
3. Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Sesquiterpene Production
Sammanfattning : Industrial biotechnology aims to develop robust “microbial cell factories”, to produce an array of added value chemicals presently dominated by petrochemical processes. The exploitation of an efficient microbial production as sustainable technology has an important impact for our society. LÄS MER
4. A systems biology understanding of protein constraints in the metabolism of budding yeasts
Sammanfattning : Fermentation technologies, such as bread making and production of alcoholic beverages, have been crucial for development of humanity throughout history. Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a natural platform for this, due to its capability to transform sugars into ethanol. LÄS MER
5. Nitrile Hydratases and Epoxide-Transforming Enzymes : Quantum Chemical Modeling of Reaction Mechanisms and Selectivities
Sammanfattning : Quantum chemical studies of enzymatic reactions are able to provide detailed insight into mechanisms and catalytic strategies. The energetic feasibility of proposed mechanisms can be established, and new possible reaction pathways can be put forward. LÄS MER
