11. Molecular genetic studies on cystinuria
Sammanfattning : Cystinuria is defined as an inherited disorder characterized by increased urinary excretion of cystine and the dibasic amino acids arginine, lysine and ornithine. The only clinical manifestation of cystinuria is renal cystine stone formation due to the low solubility of cystine in the urine. LÄS MER
12. Hydrolases as Catalysts for Green Chemistry and Industrial Applications - Esterase, Lipase and Phytase
Sammanfattning : The use of enzymes in industrial applications has been recognised for providing clean processes with minimal impact on the environment. This thesis presents studies on engineering of enzymes and enzyme-based processes in the light of green chemistry and environmental sustainability, and focuses on three hydrolases: esterase, lipase and phytase.

13. Hunting a Silent Killer. Biomolecular Approaches in Ovarian Cancer
Sammanfattning : Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease and recent advances in improving patient outcome havebeen limited. It is estimated that a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 70, making it a frequently occurring cancer type in women. LÄS MER
14. The Effects of Mutation and Selection on the Rate and Pattern of Molecular Evolution in Birds
Sammanfattning : By comparing sequence diversity and divergence on sex chromosomes one can study how the rate of evolution in affected by mutation and/or selection. The rate of mutation in male biased, meaning that relatively more mutations are created in the male germ line than in the female. LÄS MER
15. Environmental factors and p53 mutation spectrum in lung cancer
Sammanfattning : The use of molecular biomarkers, such as mutations in the p53 gene, has raised expectations for improving the resolution power in epidemiological studies. In this thesis we assessed the influence of smoking, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), residential radon and arsenic on the p53 mutation prevalence and spectrum in lung tumors. LÄS MER
