6. Tales from the Sweet Side of Life : Structure and dynamics of carbohydrate-based systems
Sammanfattning : The field of glycomics has experienced significant developments in the last few decades, revealing a profound and elaborate language behind the intrinsic complexity of the glycans structures. This ‘sugar code’ is at the basis of intercellular interaction and recognition. For this language to be understood, its chemical basis must be unveiled. LÄS MER
7. Synthesis of inositol phosphoglycans and analogues thereof
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the synthesis of inositol phosphoglycans (IPG) corresponding to glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors found on the cell surface of the parasite Leishmania. Synthesis of an IPG which is a putative second messenger for insulin, and of analogues thereof is also discussed. LÄS MER
8. Synthesis of Carbohydrate Mimics and Development of a Carbohydrate Epimerisation Method
Sammanfattning : In this thesis the synthesis of several hydrolytically stable carbohydrate mimics with the potential to function as glycosidase or lectin inhibitors are described. This work is presented in Chapters 2-5. LÄS MER
9. Synthesis of oligosaccharides related to the capsular polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serotype A
Sammanfattning : In order to find suitable stable vaccine candidates against Neisseria meningitidis group A, several structures related to the capsular polysaccharide have been synthesised. The first part of the thesis describes the synthesis of C-phosphonate analogues starting from glucose. LÄS MER
10. Pichia pastoris as a platform for the production of therapeutic glycoproteins
Sammanfattning : Recombinant protein therapeutics is a growing market within the human medical biotechnology industry. The majority of all approved biopharmaceuticals are protein based and includes for example blood factors, anticoagulants, hormones, vaccine and monoclonal antibodies. LÄS MER
