36. Sol-Gel Glasses Doped with Pt-Acetylides and Gold Nanoparticles for Enhanced Optical Power Limiting
Sammanfattning : High power laser pulses can be a threat to sensors, including the human eye. Traditionally this threat has been alleviated by colour filters that blocks radiation in chosen wavelength ranges. LÄS MER
37. Shedding light on retinal. A contribution to the understanding of the primary process of vision
Sammanfattning : In our eyes light is absorbed by a polyene molecule called retinal. This molecule contains six double bonds and is bonded to a protein. The protein-chromophore complex is called rhodopsin and has been structurally determined by crystallography. It was early suggested that the main event in vision is a cis-trans isomerization of retinal. LÄS MER
38. Quantum chemical characterization of oxide nanoparticles and interactions on their surfaces
Sammanfattning : Titanium dioxide and related oxide materials have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. Nanocrystalline particles were modelled by a finite cluster approach. LÄS MER
39. Spectroscopic studies of biomolecules confined in self-assembled nanostructures
Sammanfattning : The present thesis examines the effects of incorporating biomolecules into self-assembled nanostructures. This approach is exemplified by short DNA molecules in environments close to lipid bilayers and the immobilization of enzymes into mesoporous silica particles. LÄS MER
40. Retinoid processing in vivo : characterization and structure-function analysis of retinol dehydrogenases
Sammanfattning : Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) are vital nutrients that regulate a variety of physiological processes, including embryonic development, postnatal growth, reproduction, cell differentiation as well as maintenance of the immune system and vision. Most of the physiological functions of retinoids are believed to be controlled by retinoic acid (RA) altered gene expression via two classes of nuclear hormone receptors, the RARs and RXRs. LÄS MER
