1. Computational Studies of Enzymatic Enolization Reactions and Inhibitor Binding to a Malarial Protease
Sammanfattning : Enolate formation by proton abstraction from an sp3-hybridized carbon atom situated next to a carbonyl or carboxylate group is an abundant process in nature. Since the corresponding nonenzymatic process in water is slow and unfavorable due to high intrinsic free energy barriers and high substrate pKa s, enzymes catalyzing such reaction steps must overcome both kinetic and thermodynamic obstacles.

2. Design and Synthesis of Malarial Aspartic Protease Inhibitors
Sammanfattning : Malaria is one of the major public health problems in the world. Approximately 500 million people are afflicted and almost 3 million people die from the disease each year. Of the four causative species Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal. LÄS MER
3. On the Versatility of Microwave-Assisted Chemistry : Exemplified by Applications in Medicinal Chemistry, Heterocyclic Chemistry and Biochemistry
Sammanfattning : Today, the demand for speed in drug discovery is constantly increasing, particularly in the iterative processes of hit validation and expansion and lead optimization. Irradiation with microwaves (MWs) has been applied in the area of organic synthesis to accelerate chemical reactions and to facilitate the generation of new chemical entities since 1986. LÄS MER
4. Design and synthesis of aspartyl protease inhibitors : Targeting HIV-1 and malaria plasmepsin I and II
Sammanfattning : Aspartyl proteases can generally be inhibited by peptide mimics containing an uncleavable peptide bond isostere at the proposed cleavage site. One such peptide bond isostere is the hydroxyethylamine moiety, which in this thesis has successfully been incorporated in potential inhibitors of the HIV-1-protease as well as the malarial proteases plasmepsin I and II.

5. Structure-Assisted Design of Drugs Towards HIV-1 and Malaria Targets : Applied on Reverse Transcriptase and Protease from HIV-1 and Plasmepsin II from Plasmodium falciparum
Sammanfattning : Globally of today, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and malaria are two of the most threatening diseases known to mankind. The World Health Organization estimated that AIDS and malaria together claimed nearly 4 million lives in 2003 and many more were infected by the causative agent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the Plasmodium falciparum (P.
