1. Human α2,3-sialyltransferases. Structure and Function of Alternatively Spliced Transcripts
Sammanfattning : The recruitment of human peripheral blood leukocytes to sites of infection and inflammation requires the surface expression of Sialyl Lewis x glycoconjugates (SLex) on white blood cells and their interaction with E- and P-selectins on activated endothelial cells. Human ST3Gal III, ST3Gal IV and ST3Gal VI genes code for a2,3?sialyltransferases potentially involved in the biosynthesis of the SLex epitope. LÄS MER
2. Exploring the Functional Plasticity of Human Glutathione Transferases : Allelic Variants, Novel Isoenzyme and Enzyme Redesign
Sammanfattning : Glutathione transferases (GSTs) make up a superfamily that is involved in the cellular defense against various reactive compounds by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione to electrophilic centra. Members of this family have also been implicated in different facets of biological signaling. LÄS MER
3. Acute Myocardial Infarction: The Relationship between Duration of Ischaemia and Infarct Size in Humans - Assessment by MRI and SPECT
Sammanfattning : The effect of duration of ischaemia on final infarct size is well established in animal studies, but not fully evaluated in humans. Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) can be used to distinguish between viable and non-viable myocardium and thus to quantify infarct size. LÄS MER
4. RECOMBINANT PEROXIDASES AND XYLANASES: I. Cloning and production of a peroxidase from horseradish II. Characterisation of functional domains of thermostable xylanases from Rhodothermus marinus
Sammanfattning : Part I: Plant peroxidases are useful in many areas of application e.g. as tracer enzymes for clinical applications and in biosensors as well as for industrial purposes like in waste water treatment and bleaching processes. A gene encoding a new, neutral horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme, HRP-n, was isolated. LÄS MER
5. Intermediate State Stabilisation in Enzyme Catalysis Structural studies of two serine proteases and a photosynthetic reaction centre
Sammanfattning : Enzymes play a key role in every organisms life. They catalyse chemical reactions and may also respond to external stimulus. The reoccurring theme of this thesis is how biologically relevant information can be gleaned from X-ray structures of the enzymes. LÄS MER
