1. Heparan Sulfate Regulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) Receptor-1 Signal Transduction
Sammanfattning : Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) constitute a family (currently FGF-1 to FGF-23) of polypeptides that are essential in embryonal development and adult physiology, in animals from nematodes to humans. FGFs bind to four receptor tyrosine kinases, denoted FGFR-1 to FGFR-4. LÄS MER
2. Local and global contaminants in Swedish waters : studies on PCBs, DDTs, 4,5,6-trichloroguaiacol and their transformation products in fish and sediments
Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on studies on the environmental fate and methodological improvements for determination of the global contaminants, PCBs and DDTs, and locally discharged phenolics, e.g. 4,5,6-trichloroguaiacol (4,5,6-TCG), and their transformation products. LÄS MER
3. LL-37-derived cyclic antimicrobial drug leads : Design, synthesis, activity and different ways of creating them
Sammanfattning : In an era where last-line antibiotics are failing, one of the powerful approaches to develop novel therapeutic agents is to turn back to nature in order to identify possible drug candidates. Among the potential candidates, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have garnered much attention as an antimicrobial. LÄS MER
4. Fluorescence studies of complex systems : organisation of biomolecules
Sammanfattning : The homo and hetero dimerisation of two spectroscopically different chromophores were studied, namely: 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diazas-indacene (g-BODIPY) and its 5-styryl-derivative (r-BODIPY). Various spectroscopic properties of the r-BODIPY in different common solvents were determined. LÄS MER
5. Mechanism of conditional regulation of the bHLH/PAS dioxin receptor
Sammanfattning : The intracellular dioxin receptor is a bHLH/PAS protein which mediates signal transduction by dioxin and upon heterodimerisation with the bHLH/PAS partner factor Arnt, functions as a ligand-activated transcription factor by binding to specific xenobiotic response elements in promoters of target genes. Although the physiological function of the dioxin receptor and the nature of a possible physiological ligand are presently not known, targeted disruption of the mouse dioxin receptor gene has indicated that the receptor may play an important role in hepatic development.
