  1. 31. Analysis of lignin monomers and oligomers in technical lignins using chromatography and mass spectrometry

    Författare :Jens Prothmann; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lignin; Mass spectromery; Chromatography;

    Sammanfattning : Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on earth and has the potential to play an important role in the transition from an oil-based refinery to a biorefinery-based industry. The isolation of lignin from the biomass can be achieved by several different technical processes and isolated lignins are referred to as technical lignins in literature. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Photoinduced Electron and Energy Transfer in Π-Conjugated Systems

    Författare :Melina Gilbert Gatty; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fs spectroscopy; exciton coupling; conjugated porphyrin oligomers; ps spectroscopy; molecular wire; electron transfer; conformational analysis; self‒assembly; anthracene dendrimers; energy transfer; fluorescence anisotropy;

    Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis is a fascinating process that provides food and oxygen. In this thesis, focus is on understanding and controlling the early processes of photosynthesis, namely photoinduced energy and electron transfer. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Oligomerization of human and bacterial frataxin : Structural and functional studies

    Författare :Mostafa Abdalkhalik; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :Frataxin; Friedreich’s ataxia; iron; reactive oxiden species; protein oligomerization; SAXS; EM; cross-linking; XAFS; nano- DSF;

    Sammanfattning : Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by defeciency in frataxin, a highly conserved protein central to iron homeostasis in mirochondria. The function of frataxin is related to its capability to bind, store and deliver iron to different biochemical process such as iron-sulfur cluster assembly and heme biosynthesis. LÄS MER

  5. 34. Domain swapping as a molecular mechanism in amyloidosis

    Författare :Maria Wahlbom; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; oligomer; dimer; domain swapping; fibril; cystatin C; amyloidosis;

    Sammanfattning : Amyloidosis is a group of diseases characterized by a change in protein conformation resulting in aggregation and tissue deposition of amyloid fibrils. One variant of cystatin C, L68Q cystatin C, is highly amyloidogenic and persons carrying the corresponding gene suffer from massive cerebral amyloidosis leading to brain hemorrhage and death.

  7. 35. Capturing transient peptide assemblies associated with Alzheimer's disease : Native mass spectrometry studies of amyloid-β oligomerization

    Författare :Nicklas Österlund; Astrid Gräslund; Leopold L. Ilag; Mikael Oliveberg; Sheena E. Radford; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein aggregation; amyloid-β; neurodegeneration; Alzheimer’s disease; chaperones; DnaJ; biomembranes; native mass spectrometry; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Correct folding of proteins is essential for maintaining a functional living cell. Misfolding and aggregation of proteins, where non-native intermolecular interactions form large and highly ordered amyloid aggregates with low free energy, is hence associated with multiple diseases.
