1. Functional dynamics of glycosyltransferases : Solution-state NMR studies of peripheral membrane proteins involved in glycolipid biosynthesis in bacteria
Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance is an existential threat enabled by bacterial adaptation and fuelled by inappropriate use of medication. The ensuing shortage of effective treatments has led to a rise in deaths linked to resistant bacterial pathogens. LÄS MER
2. Membrane interactions of glycosyltransferases
Sammanfattning : Many important biological processes occur near or in membranes. The role of membranes is not merely confined to compartmentalization, they also form the matrix for membrane associated proteins and are of functional importance. Membrane associated proteins on the other hand require specific membrane properties for proper function. LÄS MER
3. Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis in Zebrafish
Sammanfattning : Proteoglycans (PGs) are composed of highly sulfated glycosaminoglycans chains (GAGs) attached to specific core proteins. They are present in extracellular matrices, on the cell surface and in storage granules of hematopoietic cells. LÄS MER
4. Computer-Assisted Carbohydrate Structural Studies and Drug Discovery
Sammanfattning : Carbohydrates are abundant in nature and have functions ranging from energy storage to acting as structural components. Analysis of carbohydrate structures is important and can be used for, for instance, clinical diagnosis of diseases as well as in bacterial studies. The complexity of glycans makes it difficult to determine their structures. LÄS MER
5. Analysis of Binding Events and Diffusion in Living Cells
Sammanfattning : It is well known that diffusion is the main mode of transport in living cells, but the consequences of diffusion in a complex cellular environment are not generally appreciated. In this thesis, we have investigated several aspects of how diffusion properties influence the observability of cellular binding kinetics and how they can be used to obtain information about the environment of proteins and other molecules.
