  1. 16. Computational Modelling of Ligand Complexes with G-Protein Coupled Receptors, Ion Channels and Enzymes

    Författare :Lars Boukharta; Johan Åqvist; Christopher A. Reynolds; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer simulations; molecular dynamics; ligand binding; free energy perturbation; linear interaction energy; binding free energy; homology modelling; structure prediction; alanine scanning; site-directed mutagenesis; hERG; GPCR; neuropeptide Y; HIV-1 reverse transcriptase; integron integrase; Molecular Biotechnology; Molekylär bioteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Accurate predictions of binding free energies from computer simulations are an invaluable resource for understanding biochemical processes and drug action. The primary aim of the work described in the thesis was to predict and understand ligand binding to several proteins of major pharmaceutical importance using computational methods. LÄS MER

  2. 17. The multi-faceted RNA molecule : Characterization and Function in the regulation of Gene Expression

    Författare :Mats Ensterö; Marie Öhman; Jørgen Kjems; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Computational Biology; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I have studied the RNA molecule and its function and characteristics in the regulation of gene expression. I have focused on two events that are important for the regulation of the transcriptome: Translational regulation through micro RNAs; and RNA editing through adenosine deaminations. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Virulence mechanisms of pathogenic Yersinia : aspects of type III secretion and twin arginine translocation

    Författare :Moa Lavander; Åke Forsberg; George Salmond; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Yersinia pestis; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; bacterial pathogenesis; type III secretion; twin arginine translocation; virulence mechanisms; YscU; YscP; YscF; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : The pathogenic bacteria Yersinia pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis are related to the degree where the former is considered a subspecies of the latter, and still they cause disease of little resemblance in humans. Y. pestis is the causative agent of lethal bubonic and pneumonic plague, while Y. LÄS MER

  4. 19. Regulation of DNA damage responses by the Myc oncogene : implications for future anti-cancer therapies

    Författare :Andreas Höglund; Jonas Nilsson; Thomas Helleday; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Myc; DNA damage; Decitabine; Chk1; Chk2; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Myc is a transcription factor frequently found deregulated in human cancer. Cells with deregulated expression of Myc carry a selective advantage against its neighbours due to the fact that Myc-mediated transcription governs crucial cellular events such as proliferation and growth.

  5. 20. High Content Analysis of Proteins and Protein Interactions by Proximity Ligation

    Författare :Karl-Johan Leuchowius; Ola Söderberg; Ulf Landegren; Paul Goldsmith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; in situ; proximity ligation; flow cytometry; high content screening; rolling circle amplification; in situ PLA; single-cell; single-molecule; protein interactions; drug screening; post-translational modifications; Molecular medicine; Molekylär medicin; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Fundamental to all biological processes is the interplay between biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Studies of interactions should therefore be more informative than mere detection of expressed proteins. Preferably, such studies should be performed in material that is as biologically and clinically relevant as possible, i.e. LÄS MER
