1. In silico protein design for the enhancement of protein stability and function
Sammanfattning : Enzymes are natures catalysts that increase the rate of a chemical reaction. The increased rate of a reaction is required to be able to sustain life. Despite the huge impact of enzymes, they are not perfect catalysts. LÄS MER
2. Identification and characterisation of chitin and cellulose synthases in oomycetes : New tools for biochemical studies and structure determination
Sammanfattning : Despite resembling ‘true’ fungi in terms of morphological features, oomycetes form a distinct eukaryotic lineage of filamentous microorganisms that belongs to the stramenopiles, a group of protists also comprising the closely-related brown algae and diatoms. Many oomycetes are devastating pathogens of plants and animals, globally causing significant economic losses in the agriculture and aquaculture industries, and posing considerable environmental damage to natural ecosystems.

3. Mammalian protein expression and characterization tools for next generation biologics
Sammanfattning : Protein therapeutics are increasingly important for modern medicine. Novel recombinant proteins developed today can bind towards their target with high specificity and with low adverse effect. This has enabled the treatment of diseases that for a few years ago were deemed uncurable. LÄS MER
4. The ADAPT scaffold as a tool for diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy
Sammanfattning : Molecular recognition, or the specific interactions between a protein and its ligand, is central to biology and a key factor for many different clinical and technical applications. Despite antibodies being only one of many different affinity proteins, it has by far been the most successful. LÄS MER
5. Exploitation of interactions with the neonatal Fc receptor to manipulate biological half-lives for therapeutic applications
Sammanfattning : Protein engineering provides powerful tools to create useful proteins with desired properties. In this thesis, rational design principles have been used for development of fusion proteins that can interact with the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) for potential medical applications. FcRn is widely expressed in the human body. LÄS MER
