16. Anionic oligothiophenes : Optical tools for multimodal fluorescent assignment of protein aggregates
Sammanfattning : Luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes (LCOs) represent a useful and interesting class of materials well known for their abilities as transducers for colorimetric and fluorometric reporting. Specifically, they have the ability to produce a conformation-dependent spectral signature reflective of changes in their local environment. LÄS MER
17. Processing, stability and interactions of lung surfactant protein C
Sammanfattning : Mature SP-C is a 4.2 kDa transmembrane protein which is uniquely expressed in the alveolar type II cell. Human SP-C is generated via multistep proteolytic cleavage of both the C-terminal and Nterminal regions of proSP-C. LÄS MER
18. Luminescent molecular recognition of pathognomonic and aging associated protein aggregates
Sammanfattning : Various protein inclusions have been recognized to be associated with aging and pathogenic conditions, such as in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Type 2 diabetes, and the prionoses Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Chronic wasting disease (CWD), and Mad cow disease. The causative transition of protein aggregation is the alteration in the conformation of the protein that renders the protein susceptible towards self-assembly. LÄS MER
19. Nanostructure and biomolecule interactions : Characterizing the complex
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the results of studies done on various biomolecules and their interactions with nanomaterials. The biomolecule sources are everything from purified, single proteins to the complicated mixture of blood serum and cell culture media. LÄS MER
20. Structural investigation of SOD1 aggregates in ALS : identification of prion strains using anti-peptide antibodies
Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons that result in muscle wasting. The symptoms advance gradually to paralysis and eventually death. Most patients suffer from sporadic ALS (sALS) but 10% report a familial predisposition. LÄS MER
