1. Concerted or Stepwise? : β-Elimination, Nucleophilic Substitution, Copper Catalysed Aziridination and Ruthenium Catalysed Transfer Hydrogenation Studied by Kinetic Isotope Effects and Linear Free-Energy Relationships
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the use of kinetic isotope effects, linear free energy relationships and stereochamical studies to distinguish between different mechanistic alternatives and to obtain information about transition state structure.In the first part fluorine and deuterium kinetic isotope effects were determined for the base promoted HF elimination from 4-fluoro-4-(4’-nitrophenyl)butane-2-on.

2. Studies of the anomeric center : mechanism and synthesis
Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on three publications and one appendix and is divided into two parts. The first part is a mechanistic study of the anomerization reaction of both aldo and keto glycosides and the second part is a synthetic study of a unusual type of glycosidic linker found in the lipopolysaccharide core Proteus Mirabilis 0270.

3. Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Aromatic Ketones : Catalyst Development and Mechanistic Studies
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the development and evaluation of new chiral Ru(arene)(amino alcohol) catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones using isopropanol as the hydrogen source. Two mechanistic studies of the Ru(arene)(amino alcohol) catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone were also conducted. The Ru(arene)[(1S,3R,4R)-3. LÄS MER
4. Quantum Chemical Modeling of Binuclear Zinc Enzymes
Sammanfattning : In the present thesis, the reaction mechanisms of several di-zinc hydrolases have been explored using quantum chemical modeling of the enzyme active sites. The studied enzymes are phosphotriesterase (PTE), aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP), glyoxalase II (GlxII), and alkaline phosphatase (AP). LÄS MER
5. Autoproteolysis accelerated by conformational strain - a novel biochemical mechanism
Sammanfattning : Natural fragmentation of polypeptide chains by autoproteolysis occurs in a number of protein families. It is a vital step in the maturation of several enzymes and in the formation of membrane-associated mucins that constitute a part of the protective mucus barrier lining epithelial cells. LÄS MER
