1. Cyclotides evolve : Studies on their natural distribution, structural diversity, and activity
Sammanfattning : The cyclotides are a family of naturally occurring peptides characterized by cyclic cystine knot (CCK) structural motif, which comprises a cyclic head-to-tail backbone featuring six conserved cysteine residues that form three disulfide bonds. This unique structural motif makes cyclotides exceptionally resistant to chemical, thermal and enzymatic degradation. LÄS MER
2. Chemical Engineering of Small Affinity Proteins
Sammanfattning : Small robust affinity proteins have shown great potential for use in therapy, in vivo diagnostics, and various biotechnological applications. However, the affinity proteins often need to be modified or functionalized to be successful in many of these applications. LÄS MER
3. Bottom-up Fabrication of Functional DNA Nanostructures
Sammanfattning : This thesis demonstrates bottom-up fabrication of a fully addressable non-repetitive network on the nanometer scale, assembled by synthetic DNA molecules. Each side constitutes a unique sequence of 10 bases, i.e. 3. LÄS MER
4. Photochemical Ligation Techniques for Carbohydrate Biosensors and Protein Interaction Studies
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the development of surface ligation techniques for the preparation of carbohydrate biosensors. Several methodologies were developed based on efficient photochemical insertion reactions which quickly functionalize polymeric materials, with either carbohydrates or functional groups such as alkynes or alkenes.

5. Theoretical studies of blue copper proteins
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, a critical investigation is presented about the role of mechanical strain for the electron-transfer properties of the blue copper proteins. It has been found that the structure of a realistic model complex of the oxidised blue-copper active site, optimised in vacuum with the B3LYP method, has the same trigonal cupric geometry as in the protein.
