1. 1. Assessing self-association of intrinsically disordered proteins by coarse-grained simulations and SAXS

   Författare :Ellen Rieloff; Beräkningskemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Intrinsically disordered proteins; Self-association; Coarse-grained modelling; Monte Carlo simulations; Small-angle X-ray scattering SAXS ; statherin;

   Sammanfattning : This research investigates the behavior of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in solution, especially the self-associating saliva protein Statherin, by a combined computational and experimental approach. For the computational part, a bead necklace model previously parameterised for Histatin 5 was used. LÄS MER

3. 2. Unravelling protein stability and aggregation

   Författare :Tanja Weiffert; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein stability; protein aggregation; amyloid beta peptide; protein stabilization; split GFP; monellin; secretagogin; ; aggregation kinetics; toxicity; aggregation mechanism; coaggregation;

   Sammanfattning : Proteins are complex macromolecules that are fundamental to all living species. The stability of proteins are governed by non-covalent forces within the protein and between the protein and its surrounding environment. LÄS MER

4. 3. Properties of Protein and Polymer Systems

   Författare :Fredrik Carlsson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; lysozyme; mica; surface; dimerization; precipitation; aggregate; cluster; complex; polyelectrolyte; protein; polymer;

   Sammanfattning : Interactions of proteins with other proteins, with polymers and with surfaces are of great practical importance within for instance protein purification, drug delivery, and food technology. The aim of this work is to increase the understanding of protein-protein, protein-polyelectrolyte, and protein-surface interactions, particularly concerning the role of electrostatic interactions in these systems.

5. 4. Magnetic relaxation studies of self-associating and membrane proteins

   Författare :Michael Gottschalk; Lund University Bioimaging Center; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; beta-lactoglobulin A; Biokemisk teknik; Biochemical technology; HEWL; BPTI; bacteriorhodopsin; protein self-association; membrane proteins; NMR; magnetic relaxation dispersion;

   Sammanfattning : Magnetic relaxation dispersion measurements have been performed on aqueous protein solutions to study the dynamics of waters in the proton transport channel of bacteriorhodopsin and the self-association of the proteins BPTI, lysozyme and beta-lactoglobulin. The measurements have focused on the bulk relaxation rates, R1 and R2, of three water nuclei 1H, 2H and 17O that are coupled to the protein environments by exchange and therefore report on properties such as the protein tumbling and dynamics of internal waters.

7. 5. Molecular characterization of the hepatitis C virus core protein

   Författare :Priya Devi; Anders Bergqvist; Björn Olsen; Tanel Punga; Gerald McInerney; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HCV; core protein; SHP-1; CpG methylation; bisulfite sequencing; NGS; PBMC; Ca2 NFAT; strand-specific RT qPCR; Klinisk virologi; Clinical Virology; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi;

   Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA virus that causes chronic infection, which can lead to hepatocellular carcinomas in humans. Besides liver diseases, the chronic HCV infection causes a broad spectrum of extrahepatic complications such as lymphoproliferative, metabolic and autoimmune disorders. LÄS MER
