1. 1. Biocatalysed redox reactions in aqueous and organic media

   Författare :Mats Andersson; Bioteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PLS; coenzyme regeneration; bioelectrocatalysis; hydrogenase; chloroperoxidase; HLADH; Proteus vulgaris; Alcaligenes eutrophus; artificial electron mediator; D- S _chlorolactic acid; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals mainly with biocatalysed methods for stereoselective reduction. D-(S)-chlorolactic acid was produced by both microbial and electromicrobial reduction of chloropyruvate using whole cells of Proteus vulgaris and an artificial electron mediator. The electron donor was formate, hydrogen gas or the cathode in an electrochemical cell. LÄS MER

3. 2. Catalysts for Oxygen Production and Utilization : Closing the Oxygen Cycle: From Biomimetic Oxidation to Artificial Photosynthesis

   Författare :Erik Karlsson; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Björn Åkermark; Jerker Mårtensson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; oxygen; catalytic oxidation; biomimetic oxidation; artificial photosynthesis; water oxidation; DFT calculations; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the development and study of catalysts for redox reactions, which either utilize oxygen or hydrogen peroxide for the purpose of selectively oxidizing organic substrates, or produce oxygen as the necessary byproduct in the production of hydrogen by artificial photosynthesis.The first chapter gives a general introduction about the use of environmentally friendly oxidants in the field of organic synthesis, and about the field of artificial photosynthesis.

4. 3. Heterogeneous electron transfer studies with ligninolytic redox enzymes and living bacteria. Applications in biosensors and biofuel cells

   Författare :Vasile Coman; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cellobiose dehydrogenase; direct electron transfer; mediated electron transfer; self-assembled monolayer; flow injection analysis; amperometric biosensor; E. coli; succinate:quinone reductase; biofuel cell; B. subtilis; whole-cell biosensor;

   Sammanfattning : The catalytic properties and the inter-domain electron transfer of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from the ascomycete fungus Myriococcum thermophilum adsorbed on graphite and thiol (SAM) modified gold electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, flow injection amperometry and UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry. The fabrication and characterisation of a noncompartmentalised, mediator and cofactor free glucose–oxygen biofuel cell well-operating in glucose-containing buffers and human blood serum was performed.

5. 4. Hydrogen Bonded Phenols as Models for Redox-Active Tyrosines in Enzymes

   Författare :Josefin Utas; Björn Åkermark; Helena Grennberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electron transfer; photosystem II; radicals; imidazole; hydrogen bonding; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the impact of hydrogen bonding on the properties of phenols. The possibility for tyrosine to form hydrogen bonds to other amino acids has been found to be important for its function as an electron transfer mediator in a number of important redox enzymes.

7. 5. Development of metal complexes for water oxidation

   Författare :Bao-Lin Lee; Björn Åkermark; Xiaodong Zou; Antoni Llobet; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : In an artificial version of photosynthesis, sunlight and water are used to produce fuels. Our research focuses on the bottleneck in this process, the photooxidation of water. In the course of developing a water oxidation catalyst, a number of metal complexes have been synthesised, characterised, and studied for catalytic activity. LÄS MER
