  1. 16. Protein folding studies of human superoxide dismutase and ALS associated mutants

    Författare :Mikael Lindberg; Mikael Oliveberg; Jane Clarke; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; superoxide dismutase; ALS; protein folding; equilibrium titration; protein stability; apo protein; disulphide bridge; chevron plot; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Proteins are among the most abundant biological macromolecules. The cellular machinery is coupled to exact structural shape and properties of the more than 100 000 different proteins. Still, proteins can sometimes completely change their character and as a result trigger neuro degenerative disease. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Membrane mediated aggregation of amyloid-β protein : a potential key event in Alzheimer's disease

    Författare :Marcus Bokvist; Gerhard Gröbner; Göran Lindblom; Lena Mäler; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s Disease; Aβ40; Circular Dichroism; NMR; Amyloids; Crowding; Peptide-Lipid Interaction; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common senile dementia, is a complex process. A crucial event in AD is the aggregation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ), a cleavage product from the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). LÄS MER

  4. 18. Amyloid Beta – Biotherapy Target and Biotechnological Tool

    Författare :Sebastian W. Meister; Stefan Ståhl; John Löfblom; Maarten Merkx; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid beta; blood-brain barrier; green-fluorescent protein; intracellular assays; proteases; protease substrate specificity; protein aggregation; protein engineering.; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized primarily by memory impairment and cognitive decline. As of 2020, an estimated 50 million people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia and no disease-modifying treatment options are yet approved for clinical practice. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Susceptibility genes in conformational diseases

    Författare :Malin von Otter; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Conformational disease; Alzheimer’s disease; Parkinson’s disease; Cataract Protein aggregation; Cellular transport; Oxidative stress; Susceptibility; genes; SNP; Haplotype;

    Sammanfattning : Conformational diseases are characterized by protein misfolding and aggregation in the affected tissue. The aim of this thesis was to find genetic support for mechanisms in common for three prevalent ... LÄS MER

  7. 20. Vitamin K-dependent protein S - studies of synthesis, structure and function

    Författare :Sofia Somajo; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; C4b-binding protein; coagulation; microparticles; protein C; protein S; structure; tissue factor pathway inhibitor;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on four projects with the overall aim to investigate vitamin K-dependent protein S functions in relation to its structure. The anticoagulant functions of protein S can be divided in three: 1) cofactor for activated protein C (APC), 2) cofactor for tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and 3) APC and TFPI-independent anticoagulant functions.
