  1. 1. Insights Into Protein Synthesis - Structural Aspects of Elongation Factor G and Fusidic Acid Inhibition

    Författare :Sebastian Hansson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molekylär biofysik; Structure chemistry; Strukturkemi; Molecular biophysics; Biologi; Biology; Biomedicinska vetenskaper; Biomedical sciences; conformational change; fusidic acid; protein synthesis; elongation factor G; crystal structures;

    Sammanfattning : Elongation factor G (EF-G) catalyses the translocation step in protein synthesis on the ribosome. During this event the antibiotic Fusidic acid (FA) binds to and irreversably inhibits the release of the EF-G:GDP complex from the ribosome. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Purine and Pyrazolopyrimidine Derivatives: Design and Synthesis of Chemical Tools for Biological Applications

    Författare :David Bliman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; purine; pyrazolopyrimidine; caged compounds; protein kinases; protein-protein interactions; fluorescence; organic synthesis;

    Sammanfattning : Purines can be found in a multitude of naturally occurring compounds with a range of functions. This thesis describes the design and synthesis of purines and structurally related pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives intended for biological applications. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 : an unfolding chaperone regulating lipoprotein lipase activity

    Författare :Valentina Sukonina; Gunilla Olivecrona; Lena Kjellen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipoprotein lipase; angiopoietin-like protein 4; protein folding; human adipose tissue; macrophages; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta PPARδ ; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    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

  5. 4. Synthesis of Ring-fused Peptidomimetics : Interacting with Amyloid Fibrils

    Författare :Dan E. Adolfsson; Fredrik Almqvist; Anna Linusson; Morten Grötli; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic chemistry; synthesis; peptidomimetics; thiazoline fused 2-pyridones; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; Amyloid; Amyloid-beta; alfa-Synuclein; method development; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease are the two most common neurological disorders in humans. Both conditions involve progressive death of neurons in the central nervous system, decline in bodily functions and eventually (and invariably), death. So far, no cure exists and the available treatments can only ease symptoms. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Antibiotic-induced Bacterial Toxin Release – Inhibition by Protein Synthesis Inhibitors

    Författare :Gunilla Hjerdt-Goscinski; Jan Sjölin; Monica Lundholm; Inga Odenholt; Ingrid Nilsson-Ehle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Communicable diseases; Endotoxin; LPS; exotoxin; SpeA; penicillin-binding protein; aminoglycosides; clindamycin; β-lactam antibiotics; severe sepsis; septic shock; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious diseases; Infektionssjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Toxic products, such as endotoxin from the gram-negative and exotoxin from the gram-positive bacteria, are the most important initiators of the inflammatory host response in sepsis. In addition to antibacterial treatment, numerous attempts have been made to interfere with the exaggerated proinflammatory cascade initiated by the toxins. LÄS MER
