  1. 1. Electromagnetic Field Induced Out-of-Equilibrium Structural Dynamics in Protein Crystals: From Picoseconds to Milliseconds

    Författare :Viktor Ahlberg Gagnér; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Terahertz radiation; low frequency vibrations; B-factors; ADP tensor; bovine trypsin; FemtoMAX; resampling; femtosecond structural dynamics; millisecond structural dynamics; LCLS; displacements; distances; photosynthetic reaction center;

    Sammanfattning : Light-induced interactions in biomolecules are strongly varying over different model systems. Most amino acids and proteins absorb ultraviolet light, but only a few with specialised chromophores or fluorophores, are able to absorb light in the visible spectrum. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Small Particles with Big Impact : Structural Studies of Viruses and Toxicological Studies of Nanodiamonds

    Författare :Anna Munke; Marvin Seibert; Kenta Okamoto; Filipe Maia; Inger Andersson; Nicola Stonehouse; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chaetenuissarnavirus II; cryo-EM; CtenRNAV-II; Escherichia coli; Danio rerio; flash X-ray imaging; Marnaviridae; single-particle analysis; single-particle imaging; Sogarnavirus; virus evolution; virus structure; XFEL; zebrafish embryo; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Nanoparticles (NPs) can be found everywhere and their existence has both beneficial and harmful consequences for the environment and living beings. The investigations on which this thesis is based upon have contributed to an increased understanding of some of these particles and to the development of a method that could be used to study their structure.

  4. 3. Production and Structural Dynamics of Microbial Rhodopsins

    Författare :Cecilia Wickstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacteriorhodopsin; channelrhodopsin; time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography;

    Sammanfattning : Rhodopsins are a family of membrane proteins that are found in a wide range of organisms and provide them with the ability to sense and react to light. When light is absorbed by these proteins, structural changes occur that initiate the pumping of protons, opening of a channel or signal transfer. LÄS MER

  5. 4. X-ray free-electron laser based methods for structural and ultrafast dynamics studies of a photosynthetic reaction centre

    Författare :David Arnlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; WAXS; wide-angle x-ray scattering; XFEL; x-ray free-electron laser; reaction center; structural biology; ultrafast dynamics;

    Sammanfattning : Life on earth is fuelled by the energy of sunlight, which must first be captured and converted into a chemical energy form useful to the cell. This process is known as photosynthesis and the major pathway of this energy conversion is via photosynthetic reaction centres. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Structure and Dynamics in Transition Metal Perovskites — An Optical Spectroscopy Study

    Författare :Johan Bielecki; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multiferroics; colossal magnetoresistance; magnetism; proton-conduction; spin-state transition; structure; Ultrafast spectroscopy; high temperature superconductivity; dynamics; Raman;

    Sammanfattning : Transition metal oxides with the perovskite structure exhibit a vast number of exotic properties due to the large number of competing degrees of freedom at the Fermi surface. Together with couplings between and correlations within these degrees of freedom, this class of materials is of high interest from both a practical and theoretical point of view. LÄS MER
