  1. 1. Rational engineering of esterases for improved amidase specificity in amide synthesis and hydrolysis

    Författare :Peter Hendil-Forssell; Mats Martinelle; Romas J. Kazlauskas; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Amidase; Biocatalysis; Enzyme; Esterase; Enzyme engineering; Lipase; Substrate specificity; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Biocatalysis is an ever evolving field that uses enzymes or microorganisms for chemical synthesis. By utilizing enzymes that generally have evolved for specific reactions under mild conditions and temperatures, biocatalysis can be a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional chemistry.

  3. 2. On Catalytic Mechanisms for Rational Enzyme Design Strategies

    Författare :Charlotte Kürten; Per-Olof Syrén; Rudolf Allemann; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; catalytic mechanisms; terpene cyclase; triterpene cyclase; solvent dynamics; protein hydration; thermodynamics; quantum tunneling; polycyclization; natural compounds; ? ?-hydrolase; esterase; amidase; enzyme engineering; biocatalysis; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Enzymes enable life by promoting chemical reactions that govern the metabolism of all living organisms. As green catalysts, they have been extensively used in industry. However, to reach their full potential, engineering is often required, which can benefit from a detailed understanding of the underlying reaction mechanism. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Peptidoglycan regulation of Drosophila immunity

    Författare :Jenny Karlsson; Håkan Steiner; Kenneth Söderhäll; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Innate immunity is an ancient defense system that distinguishes between self and non self and is present in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Peptidoglycan (PGN), a cell wall component shared by both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, is the major recognition molecule for the detection of bacteria in Drosophila. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Innate immune gene expression and function studied in insects and mammals

    Författare :Gang Liu; Ulrich Theopold; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Insects and mammals possess innate immune responses to effectively recognize and eliminate invading microorganisms. Insects, who share with mammals conserved molecules for immune defense, are good model systems for innate immunity studies. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins : Major Regulators of Drosophila Immunity

    Författare :Peter Mellroth; Håkan Steiner; Julien Royet; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Innate immunity; peptidoglycan recognition protein; PGRP; Toll; Imd; Drosophila immunity; Microbiology and immunology; Mikrobiologi och immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : All eukaryotic organisms have an innate immune system characterized by germ-line encoded receptors and effector molecules, which mediate detection and clearance of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites. VertebrateDrosophila as a genetically tractable organism with a This thesis concerns the peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) gene family in the fruit fly. LÄS MER
