1. Effects of Ubiquinone-10 on the Stability and Mechanical Properties of Lipid Membranes
Sammanfattning : Ubiquinones are a group of fat-soluble molecules present in many biological membranes. The most abundant version in humans, ubiquinone-10 (Q10), plays an important role in the mitochondrial respiration chain and also functions as a powerful antioxidant. Accumulating evidence suggests that Q10 also could have other functions in the membrane. LÄS MER
2. Characterization of artificial and biological lipid vesicles using TIRF and SPR
Sammanfattning : Synthetic lipid vesicles serve as important mimics of cells and the natural membranes that they are enclosed by. As such they are frequently used as simplified models of the highly complex cell membrane to aid in-depth physicochemical and biological characterization of this essential biological structure.

3. Development of Novel In Situ ESEM Techniques for the Study of Water Interaction with Soft Materials
Sammanfattning : The transport of water is central to many applications of soft biomaterials; for example water management in personal care products, controlled drug release in pharmaceuticals and, on a fundamental level, the activities of living cells. Water transport through a material may occur in both liquid and gas phase, and is highly dependent on the microstructure. LÄS MER
4. Development of Novel In Situ Microscopy Techniques for the Study of Water Interaction with Soft Materials
Sammanfattning : The transport of water in soft materials can occur in liquid or gas phase and is highly dependent on the material microstructure and the structure dynamics. Understanding these relationships is the basis for the development of predictive models that can aid the design of new and improved functional materials. LÄS MER
5. Modeling and identification of biological systems with emphasis on osmoregulation in yeast
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with two topics in the area of systems biology. Thefirst topic, model identification, concerns the problem ofautomatically identifying a mathematical model of a biochemical systemfrom experimental data. LÄS MER
