36. Genetic and Molecular analysis of the Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) disease gene
Sammanfattning : Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder affecting the cerebellum, pons and retina. SCA7 patients present with gait ataxia and visual impairment as the main symptoms. LÄS MER
37. A molecular biological study of Alzheimer's disease : investigation of amyloid precursor protein, amyloid precursor-like protein 2 and presenilin-1
Sammanfattning : The devastating symptoms of Alzheimer's disease result from a progressive regional neurodegenerative process, the cause of which is unknown. Current research suggests that several different mechanisms may be involved, perhaps acting at different points in a common pathological pathway. LÄS MER
38. Atypical Solute Carriers : Identification, evolutionary conservation, structure and histology of novel membrane-bound transporters
Sammanfattning : Solute carriers (SLCs) constitute the largest family of membrane-bound transporter proteins in humans, and they convey transport of nutrients, ions, drugs and waste over cellular membranes via facilitative diffusion, co-transport or exchange. Several SLCs are associated with diseases and their location in membranes and specific substrate transport makes them excellent as drug targets. LÄS MER
39. Towards Classification and Functional Description of Enzymes: A case study of feruloyl esterases
Sammanfattning : The prediction of enzyme functionality from sequence or structure data remains a challenging task that can be best addressed by studying the structure-function relationships determined from previously available information. This thesis work was focused on developing a reliable classification and functional description for the feruloyl esterase (FAE) enzyme family, whose members’ possess both structural and catalytic promiscuity.

40. G Protein-Coupled Receptors; Discovery of New Human Members and Analyses of the Entire Repertoires in Human, Mouse and Rat
Sammanfattning : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are signal mediators that have a prominent role in the regulation of physiological processes and they make up the targets for 30-45% of all drugs. Papers I and II describe the discovery of new human GPCRs belonging to the Rhodopsin family, a family which contains many common drug targets. LÄS MER
