  1. 1. Membrane-bound thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases in Bacillus subtilis

    Författare :Lydur Erlendsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; virologi; mykologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; sporulation; cytochrome c; thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases; Bacillus subtilis; membrane proteins; bakteriologi;

    Sammanfattning : Disulfide bonds in proteins are found between cysteine residues and are usually important for either function or stability of proteins. Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases catalyse the formation or breakage of disulfide bonds in proteins. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Studies on Thiol-Disulfide Oxidoreductases in Bacillus subtilis

    Författare :Mirja Carlsson Möller; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; bacterial sporulation; endospore; thioredoxin; Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase;

    Sammanfattning : Bacillus subtilis is a model organism for endospore-forming gram-positive bacteria. Endospores are formed in response to nutrient starvation. They can resist harsh environments and last for long periods of time. Once nutrients again become available, the endospore can germinate and the vegetative life cycle be resumed. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Structure-function studies of glutaredoxins and related oxidoreductases

    Författare :Tobias Elgán; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase; thioredoxin; Trx; glutaredoxin; Grx; protein disulfide oxidoreductase; PDO; -C-X-X-C-; specificity; conformational stability; ligandinduced stability; CD spectroscopy; redox potential;

    Sammanfattning : The members of the ubiquitous group of thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases are characterized by a conserved tertiary structure, the thioredoxin (Trx) fold, and by having a consensus -C-X-X-C- active site sequence motif. By utilizing the active site cysteines, these proteins participate in redox reactions by catalyzing reversible disulfide oxidation and reduction. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Oxidoreductases and RNA degradosome controlling virulence-associated traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

    Författare :Naeem Anwar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The oxidative stress response is a fundamental and primitive mode of innate immune defense in nearly all forms of life. The host oxidative stress response becomes truly important and effective especially against intracellular pathogens such as Salmonella. Pathogens have evolved diverse mechanisms to withstand the oxidative responses. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Improving the biocatalyst. Engineering of fungal oxidoreductases and thin-film electrodes for improvement of membraneless biofuel cells and carbohydrate biosensors

    Författare :Roberto Ortiz; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellobiose dehydrogenase; pyranose dehydrogenase; biosensor; enzymatic biofuel cell; carbon nanotubes; gold nanoparticles; direct electron transfer; flow-injection analysis; diazonium salts; self-assembled monolayers;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents investigations for the improvement of electrical contact and catalytical properties of two fungal redox enzymes, cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), with electrodes and the use of the prepared electrodes as carbohydrate biosensors and in enzymatic biofuel cells. The performance of enzyme modified electrodes can be improved in two ways, by modifying the bioelement or by modifying the electrode. LÄS MER
