16. A Novel Route for Construction of Multipurpose Receptors through Chemical Modification of Glutathione Transferases
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes how the human Alpha class glutathione transferase (GST) A1-1 can be reprogrammed either to function as a multipurpose biosensor for detection of small molecule analytes, or as a handle providing for more efficient protein purification.A novel, user-friendly, and efficient method for site-specific introduction of functional groups into the active site of hGST A1-1 is the platform for these achievements.

17. Surface Modification of Cellulose by Covalent Grafting and Physical Adsorption for Biocomposite Applications
Sammanfattning : There is an increasing interest to replace fossil-based materials with renewable alternatives. Cellulose fibers/nanofibrils (CNF) are sustainable options since they are biobased and biodegradable. In addition, they combine low weight with high strength; making them suitable to, for example, reinforce composites. LÄS MER
18. Catalysis and Site-Specific Modification of Glutathione Transferases Enabled by Rational Design
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the rational design of a novel enzyme, a thiolester hydrolase, derived from human glutathione transferase (GST) A1-1 by the introduction of a single histidine residue. The first section of the thesis describes the design and the determination of the reaction mechanism. LÄS MER
19. Carbon Nanostructures – from Molecules to Functionalised Materials : Fullerene-Ferrocene Oligomers, Graphene Modification and Deposition
Sammanfattning : The work described in this thesis concerns development, synthesis and characterisation of new molecular compounds and materials based on the carbon allotropes fullerene (C60) and graphene.A stepwise strategy to a symmetric ferrocene-linked dumbbell of fulleropyrrolidines was developed.

20. Chemical Modification of Nanostructured Wood for Functional Biocomposites
Sammanfattning : Recently emerged top-down processing concept has provided new insights into the chemical modification of wood at the nanoscale. Nanostructured wood with naturally aligned cellulose microfibrils, cell wall nanoporosity, and precisely tuned chemical composition has opened up numerous possibilities for advanced design of functional materials.
