  1. 1. Skin hydration - How water and osmolytes influence biophysical properties of stratum corneum

    Författare :Sebastian Björklund; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stratum corneum; diffusive transport; permeability; flow-through cell; Franz cell; transdermal drug delivery; water activity; vapor pressure; osmotic gradient; relative humidity; ceramide; free fatty acid; cholesterol; keratin filaments; natural moisturizing factor NMF ; urea; glycerol; molecular mobility; 13C natural-abundance solid-state NMR; polarization transfer; isothermal calorimetry; impedance spectroscopy; X-ray diffraction;

    Sammanfattning : The outermost layer of skin (i.e., the stratum corneum, SC) is the interface that separates the water-rich inside of the body from the relatively dry external environment. SC forms an effective permeability barrier, which has to be overcome in transdermal drug delivery. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Coiled coil cytoskeleton in cell architecture and osmotic stress response in Streptomyces

    Författare :Katsuya Fuchino; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coiled coil protein; Streptomyces coelicolor; polar growth; osmotic-stress response; turgor;

    Sammanfattning : Coiled coil proteins emerge as important determinants of bacterial cellular organization. Several such proteins display properties characteristic to metazoan intermediate filament (IF) proteins, and are therefore designated bacterial IF-like proteins. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Responding Model Membranes. Lipid Phase Behaviour, Domain Formation and Permeability

    Författare :Emma Sparr; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water and solute flux; Gradients; Monolayer; Two-dimensional crystals; Line activiy; Osmotic stress; Interlamellar forces; Phospholipid-cholesterol interactions; Phase transitions; Bilayer stack; Stratum corneum; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the interplay between the lipid phase behaviour, domain formation and the permeability of bilayer membranes. An essential part of this work has been the understanding of the phase transitions and equilibrium properties of lipid bilayers. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Molecular Interactions Studied by Electrophoretic and Diffusion NMR

    Författare :Fredrik Hallberg; Peter Stilbs; István Furó; Gareth Morris; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; NMR; electrophoretic NMR; Ion pairing; complexation; association; diffusion; pulsed field gradient; Nafion; Spectroscopy; Spektroskopi;

    Sammanfattning : Even though electrophoretic NMR (eNMR) experiments may provide unique chemical information and have been performed for three decades, the technique is still rarely applied, mainly because several experimental sources of artifacts have to be controlled to achieve accurate results. In this thesis, new experimental setups and protocols for accurate and precise eNMR experiments are presented. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Self-Assembly in Lipid-Protein Systems : Lung Surfactant, Stratum Corneum and Model Membranes

    Författare :Jenny Andersson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lipid self-assembly; lung surfactant; stratum corneum; dehydrin; cholesterol; osmolytes; urea; TMAO; ssNMR; cSAXS;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores lipid self-assembly and aims to give a broad picture of self-assembly structures in simple and complex lipid-protein systems. The systems studied are lung surfactant, stratum corneum and simple model membranes. The lung surfactant mixture lines the alveolus in our lungs and stabilises the air- tissue interface. LÄS MER
