  1. 1. Structure-Function Studies of Enzymes from Ribose Metabolism

    Författare :C. Evalena Andersson; Sherry Mowbray; Phil Evans; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; activation; isomerase; kinase; potassium; product inhibition; ribose; ribose 5-phosphate; x-ray crystallography; enzyme kinetics; fluorescence spectroscopy; protein structure; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : In the pentose phosphate pathway, carbohydrates such as glucose and ribose are degraded with production of reductive power and energy. Another important function is to produce essential pentoses, such as ribose 5-phosphate, which later can be used in biosynthesis of nucleic acids and cofactors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Enzymes in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MEP and CoA Pathways Targeted for Structure-Based Drug Design

    Författare :Christofer Björkelid; T. Alwyn Jones; Torsten Unge; Sherry L. Mowbray; William N. Hunter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tuberculosis; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; MEP pathway; CoA pathway; drug development; crystal structure; DXR; IspD; PanK; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Molecular Biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Tuberculosis, caused by the pathogenic bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most widespread and deadly infectious diseases today. Treatment of tuberculosis relies on antibiotics that were developed more than 50 years ago. These are now becoming ineffective due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of the bacteria.

  4. 3. Tunnels and Grooves : Structure-Function Studies in Two Disparate Enzymes

    Författare :Daniel Ericsson; Sherry Mowbray; Guy Dodson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; ribonucleotide reductase; peptide inhibitors; fluorescence polarization; lipase; interfacial activation; hydrolase; X-ray structure; substrate specificity; Structural biology; Strukturbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes structural and binding studies in enzymes from two different  organisms: ribonucleotide reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (RNR) and lipase A from Candida antarctica (CalA).RNR is viable as a target for new drugs against the causative agent of tuberculosis.

  5. 4. Structural and Functional Studies of Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase A and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose- 5-phosphate reductoisomerase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Författare :Lena M Henriksson; Torsten Unge; Sherry L. Mowbray; Barbara Seaton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Molecular biology; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Rv0009; peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase; Rv2870c; 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase; non-mevalonate pathway; DOXP MEP pathway; X-ray crystallography; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative pathogen of tuberculosis, currently infects one-third of the world’s population, resulting in two million deaths annually. This clearly shows that tuberculosis is one of the most serious diseases of our times. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Targeting Infectious Disease : Structural and functional studies of proteins from two RNA viruses and Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Författare :Anna M. Jansson; T. Alwyn Jones; Sherry L. Mowbray; E. Yvonne Jones; Uppsala universitet; []
