1. Theoretical studies of protein-ligand binding
Sammanfattning : Understanding how drugs work is of great importance, since it can facilitate drug discovery, both time- and costwise. At the same time, it is important to have methods that can help predict how well does a potential drug molecule bind to its target. Computational methods can in many ways contribute to drug design process. LÄS MER
2. Protein Misfolding in Human Diseases
Sammanfattning : There are several diseases well known that are due to aberrant protein folding. These types of diseases can be divided into three main categories:Loss-of-function diseasesGain-of-toxic-function diseasesInfectious misfolding diseases Most loss-of-function diseases are caused by aberrant folding of important proteins.

3. Microgel Interactions with Peptides and Proteins : Consequence of Peptide and Microgel Properties
Sammanfattning : Microgels are lightly cross-linked hydrogel particles in the sub-micrometer to micrometer size range with a capacity to drastically change their volume in response to changes in the external environment. Microgels have an ability to bind and store substances such as biomacromolecular drugs, notably proteins and peptides, and release them upon stimuli, making them potential candidates as drug delivery vehicles and functional biomaterials.

4. Computational prediction of ligand binding in peptide G-protein coupled receptors
Sammanfattning : G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a superfamily of membrane receptors involved in a wide variety of biological processes, and their malfunction is associated with many diseases. Consequently, GPCRs are targeted by one-third of the drugs on the market, and constitute the focus of active public and private research in the search of more effective drugs. LÄS MER
5. A multivariate approach to characterization of drug-like molecules, proteins and the interactions between them
Sammanfattning : En sjukdom kan många gånger härledas till en kaskadereaktion mellan proteiner, co-faktorer och substrat. Denna kaskadreaktion blir många gånger målet för att behandla sjukdomen med läkemedel. För att designa nya läkemedelsmoleyler används vanligen datorbaserade verktyg. LÄS MER
