1. Trichoderma viride alamethicin and plant cells - Action, response and resistance
Sammanfattning : Alamethicin is a membrane active peptide secreted from the soil-living fungus Trichoderma viride. When coexisting with T. Viride, plant roots are exposed to alamethicin, which has the ability to elicit formation of volatile compounds involved in pathogen defence. LÄS MER
2. Gene description, activity quantification and physiological responses of mitochondrial alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases
Sammanfattning : In addition to proton-pumping complex I, the plant respiratory chain contains type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases. These extra enzymes do not pump protons and consequently do not contribute to the electrochemical proton gradient. LÄS MER
3. Alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases in plant mitochondria - localisation, catalytic functions and physiological roles
Sammanfattning : In addition to complex I, the plant mitochondrial electron transport chain possesses several alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, not present in animals. These enzymes allow nonenergy-conserving electron transfer from cytoplasmic and matrix NAD(P)H to ubiquinone. LÄS MER
4. Macromolecular interactions, Consequences on carbohydrate metabolism
Sammanfattning : Most cells are crowded with solutes, enzymes, nucleic acids, structural proteins and membranes. Crowding promotes macromolecular interactions and determines major properties of the cellular environment such as viscosity, diffusion and inhomogeneity. LÄS MER
5. Physico-Chemical Investigations of, and Characterization of Model Membranes for, Lipid-Peptide Interactions
Sammanfattning : The main focus of this thesis is on the effects caused by α-helical peptides on liposome structure, the impact of cholesterol on the peptide-membrane interactions, and the effect of aggregate curvature on the peptide affinity. Results of the studies show that the membrane destabilizing effect of the cationic α-helical peptide melittin is modulated by cholesterol. LÄS MER
