11. Efficient Carbohydrate Synthesis By Intra- and Supramolecular Control
Sammanfattning : The Lattrell-Dax method of nitrite-mediated substitution of carbohydrate triflates is an efficient method to generate structures of inverse configuration. In this study, the effects of the neighboring group on the Lattrell-Dax inversion were explored. LÄS MER
12. Deciphering Carbohydrate Structure : From NMR Chemical Shifts to Conformational Analysis
Sammanfattning : Carbohydrates are ubiquitous in nature and exhibit a multitude of roles. Besides nucleic and amino acids, they can be regarded as the third alphabet of life. They are used as energy source to fuel the cells, as structural building blocks and play a key role in cellular recognition processes. LÄS MER
13. Gene regulation of UDP-glucose synthesis and metabolism in plants
Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis captures light from the sun and converts it into carbohydrates, which are utilised by almost all living organisms. The conversion between the different forms of carbohydrates is the basis to form almost all biological molecules. LÄS MER
14. Acetals - Exploring reactivity for improved carbohydrate synthesis
Sammanfattning : In my research, I have explored various aspects of acetals and their reactivity. Acetals have a central role in carbohydrate chemistry as an inherent functionality and as versatile protecting groups. The first part of the thesis summarizes results on regioselective reductive openings of benzylidene acetals. LÄS MER
15. On the engineering of proteins: methods and applications for carbohydrate-active enzymes
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the application of different protein engineering methods on enzymes and non-catalytic proteins that act upon xyloglucans. Xyloglucans are polysaccharides found as storage polymers in seeds and tubers, and as cross-linking glucans in the cell wall of plants. LÄS MER
