1. Plant aquaporin regulation: Structural and functional studies using diffraction and scattering techniques
Sammanfattning : Water is the basis for life as we know it. It is only logical then that all organisms have evolved specialized proteins, aquaporins, which regulate water flow across their membranes. Plants, which are immobile, depend more on their environment and also use water flows to move, to breathe, and to grow. LÄS MER
2. Structural studies of HDL and applications of EM on membrane proteins
Sammanfattning : A large number of proteins interact with biological membranes, either integrated in the membrane (PepTSo2), embedded on a membrane surface (5-lipoxygenase) or encircling a cutout of lipid bilayer (apolipoprotein1 (apoA-I). They function as transporters, receptors or biocatalysts in cellular processes like inflammation or cholesterol transport which are touched upon here. LÄS MER
3. Insight into 5-lipoxygenase biocatalysis and interaction with membrane components
Sammanfattning : Inflammation is one of the innate defence mechanisms exerted by the human body for protection and to initiate the healing process. Chronic inflammatory reactions can lead to several disease conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis and rheumatoid arthritis. LÄS MER
4. Structure and Function of the Borrelia burgdorferi Porins, P13 and P66
Sammanfattning : Borrelia burgdorferi is an elongated and helically shaped bacterium that is the causal agent of the tick-borne illness Lyme disease. The disease manifests with initial flu-like symptoms and, in many cases, the appearance of a skin rash called erythema migrans at the site of the tick bite. LÄS MER
5. Structural Details of Human Aquaporin Regulation : Three stories of three aquaporins
Sammanfattning : Every cell is surrounded by a thin plasma membrane, protecting it from its surrounding. Specialized protein channels and transporters are embedded in this membrane, ensuring selective transport of molecules in and out of the cells. To maintain optimal hydration, water channels called aquaporins (AQPs) are present in every cell of our body. LÄS MER
