1. Structural studies of proteins in apoptosis and lipid signaling
Sammanfattning : Signaling pathways control the fate of the cell. For example, they promote cell survival or commit the cell to death (apoptosis) in response to cell injury or developmental stimuli, decisions, which are vital for the proper development and functioning of metazoan. LÄS MER
2. Structural studies of the surface adhesin SspB from Streptococcus gordonii
Sammanfattning : Surface proteins on microorganisms that build up the oral biofilm are key players in the formation of the biofilm. Antigen I/II proteins are surface adhesins found on virtually all oral streptococci and share a conserved multi-domain architecture. These adhesins bind surface components on other bacteria and on host cells. LÄS MER
3. Fighting Tuberculosis – : Structural Studies of Three Mycobacterial Proteins
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the cloning, purification, crystallization, and structural studies of two unknown proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and of an aminotransferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis. Structural knowledge of these proteins is of highest interest for structure-based drug design, which is one of the approaches that can be used in order to fight tuberculosis (TB). LÄS MER
4. Structural and functional properties of transthyretin
Sammanfattning : The hereditary transthyretin (TTR) amyloidoses are rare, and in severe cases, fatal disorders caused by mutations in the TTR gene. The clinical picture is diverse, involving neuropathies and myopathies, and mainly depends on the causative mutation and the sites and rates of amyloid deposition. LÄS MER
5. Structural Decorations in Viruses : Unraveling Acquired Functional Structures in Icosahedral RNA Virus Capsids
Sammanfattning : Viruses have a profound impact worldwide, posing challenges to animal welfare, agriculture, human health, and the ecosystem. This thesis examines the realm of non-enveloped icosahedral double-stranded (ds)RNA and single-stranded (ss)RNA viruses through three studies. LÄS MER
