1. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 : an unfolding chaperone regulating lipoprotein lipase activity
Sammanfattning : Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the main enzyme hydrolyzing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in plasma. Proteoglycan-bound LPL on the vascular endothelium represent the functional pool of active enzyme. LPL is regulated in a tissue specific manner according to metabolic demands. LÄS MER
2. Metal Affinity Peptides in Biotechnological Applications As tools in protein purification, protein stabilisation, metal quantification and metal tolerance of bacteria and plants
Sammanfattning : Metal affinity tags have been fused to proteins and demonstrated to function as tools in protein purification, protein stabilisation, quantitative metal analysis and metal tolerance of bacteria and plants. In biotechnological applications proteins frequently have to function in nonnatural environments with harsh conditions which impose requirements for high stability on the proteins. LÄS MER
3. Nutritional Limitations of a Green Protein Shift with Focus on Iron
Sammanfattning : A dietary shift into plant-based diets (PBD) to reduce the climate footprint is advocated. Effects on nutrition and health from a modern PBD, composed of replacement products based on protein extracts are however currently unknown. LÄS MER
4. Arsenic-induced protein aggregation and toxicity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sammanfattning : Arsenic is prevalent in the environment and this toxic metalloid poses a substantial threat to human health with 100-200 million people worldwide estimated to be at risk. Chronic exposure to arsenic is associated with neurodegenerative and age-related disorders that are characterized by the accumulation of protein aggregates, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

5. Transthyretin and the transthyretin-related protein: A structural study
Sammanfattning : Transthyretin (TTR) is one of several proteins involved in amyloid disease in humans. Unknown conformational changes of the native state of TTR result in aggregation of TTR molecules into amyloid fibrils, which accumulate in extracellular tissues. This may result in different clinical symptoms, e.g. LÄS MER
