11. The Biological Importance of the Amino Acid Transporter SLC38A10 : Characterization of a Knockout Mouse
Sammanfattning : The biggest group of transporters, the solute carriers (SLCs), has more than 400 members, and about 30% of these are still orphan. In order to decipher their biological function and possible role in disease, there is a need for characterization of these. LÄS MER
12. Exploring amino-acid radicals and quinone redox chemistry in model proteins
Sammanfattning : Amino-acid radical enzymes have been studied extensively for 30 years but the experimental barriers to determine the thermodynamic properties of their key radical cofactors are so challenging that only a handful of reports exist in the literature. This is a major drawback when trying to understand the long-range radical transfer and/or catalytic mechanisms of this important family of enzymes. LÄS MER
13. Characterization of Amino Acid tRNA Ligases using the Analytical Ultracentrifuge
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT. Quaternary structures of amino acid tRNA ligases/synthetases (aaRS) in the native as well as in denatured forms were examined by molecular weight determinations (paper I-IV). Analytical ultracentrifugation, gel electrophoresis, gel chromatography were used in these investigations. LÄS MER
14. Group (IV) Metal-Catalyzed Direct Amidation : Synthesis and Mechanistic Considerations
Sammanfattning : The amide unit constitutes the backbone of proteins, and it is present in a large number of pharmaceutically active molecules, polymeric materials such as nylon and Kevlar, as well as in food additives like aspartame. Amides are produced in enormous amounts every year, thus, environmentally friendly and selective methods for their formation are of great importance. LÄS MER
15. Characterization of a new amino acid transport system in human epidermal Langerhans cells
Sammanfattning : Based on the discovery of a new amino acid transport system in Langerhans cells (LC), various aspects concerning the L-dopa uptake mechanism into human epidermal LC and the energy metabolism of epidermis have been examined and subsequently characterised. The system lacks any characteristics of other described amino acid transport systems in other cell types. LÄS MER
