1. 1. Effects of Macromolecular Crowding on Protein Folding : - in-vitro equilibrium and kinetic studies on selected model systems

   Författare :Alexander Christiansen; Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede; Thomas Kiefhaber; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein Folding; macromolecular crowding; excluded volume; spectroscopy; stopped-flow; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Sammanfattning : Protein folding is the process during which an extended and unstructured polypeptide converts to its compact folded structure that is most often the functional state. The process has been characterized extensively in dilute buffer in-vitro during the last decades but the actual biological place for this process is the inside of living cells. LÄS MER

3. 2. Polyelectrolytes : Bottle-Brush Architectures and Association with Surfactants

   Författare :Ali Naderi; Per M. Claesson; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyelectrolyte; Surfactant; Bottle-Brush Polyelectrolyte; Comb Polyelectrolyte; Non-Equilibrium State; Polymer Architecture; Adsorption; Desorption; Association; Excluded Volume; Light Scattering; SFA; AFM; QCM-D; Turbidimeter; Mica; Silica; Surface Forces; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis has the dual purpose of raising awareness of the importance of the mixing protocol on the end products of polyelectrolyte-oppositely charged surfactant systems, and to contribute to a better understanding of the properties of bottle-brush polyelectrolytes when adsorbed onto interfaces. In the first part of this thesis work, the effects of the mixing protocol and the mixing procedure on formed polyelectrolyte-oppositely charged surfactant aggregates were investigated. LÄS MER

4. 3. Stochastic Simulation of Multiscale Reaction-Diffusion Models via First Exit Times

   Författare :Lina Meinecke; Per Lötstedt; Stefan Engblom; Ramon Grima; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computational systems biology; diffusion; first exit times; unstructured meshes; reaction-diffusion master equation; macromolecular crowding; excluded volume effects; finite element method; backward analysis; stochastic simulation; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Mathematical models are important tools in systems biology, since the regulatory networks in biological cells are too complicated to understand by biological experiments alone. Analytical solutions can be derived only for the simplest models and numerical simulations are necessary in most cases to evaluate the models and their properties and to compare them with measured data.

5. 4. Alternative Methods for Assessment of Split Renal Function

   Författare :Henrik Björkman; Anders Magnusson; Jonas Wadström; Torbjörn Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Radiology; Split renal function; Live kidney donor; CT; Renography; Dynamic MRI; Renal volume; Respiratory triggering; Radiologisk forskning;

   Sammanfattning : Living kidney donation is a clinical situation with unique features in the sense that healthy individuals voluntarily expose themselves to certain risks and inconveniences. Therefore, eliminating as much of the associated discomfort as possible is crucial. LÄS MER

7. 5. Polymer Gels: Modeling the Swelling Behavior

   Författare :Stefanie Schneider; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Polymerteknik; biopolymers; Polymer technology; binding isotherms; polyelectrolyte-surfactant interactions; discontinuous volume transition; gel swelling; Monte Carlo simulation; polyelectrolyte gels;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the swelling behavior of polyelectrolyte gels. The thesis can be divided into two parts. Part one deals with the modeling and computer simulation of the gel swelling. LÄS MER
