6. Exploring the Interplay of Lipids and Membrane Proteins
Sammanfattning : The interplay between lipids and membrane proteins is known to affect membrane protein topology and thus have significant effect (control) on their functions. In this PhD thesis, the influence of lipids on the membrane protein function was studied using three different membrane protein models. LÄS MER
7. Dual-topology membrane proteins in Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Cellular life, as we know it, is absolutely dependent on biological membranes; remarkable superstructures made of lipids and proteins. For example, all living cells are surrounded by at least one membrane that protects the cell and holds it together. LÄS MER
8. What’s in? What’s out? And how did it get there? : Studies on topologies and insertion of membrane proteins
Sammanfattning : Because of their hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature and the need for a lipid bilayer for retaining the native structure, membrane proteins are hard to study. Nevertheless, they are important, as many of our diseases are related to membrane proteins and around 60% of the different pharmaceutical drugs are directed against a membrane proteins [1]. LÄS MER
9. Topology Prediction of Membrane Proteins: Why, How and When?
Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins are of broad interest since they constitute a large fraction of the proteome in all organisms, up to 20-30%. They play a crucial role in many cellular processes mediating information flow and molecular transport across otherwise nearly impermeable membranes. LÄS MER
10. Studies on the Conformation of Transmembrane Polypeptides in Membrane Proteins
Sammanfattning : The major aim of the studies that this thesis is based on has been to better define the topological determinants of the formation of so-called helical hairpins during membrane protein assembly in the ER membrane.The helical hairpin is a basic folding unit in membrane proteins.
