  1. 16. Time-resolved X-ray diffraction and solution scattering studies of Sensory Rhodopsin II in isolation and in complex with its transducer

    Författare :Giorgia Ortolani; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; light-activated membrane protein; microbial Rhodopsins; Sensory rhodopsin II; SRII; SRII:HtrII; transducer; SSX; XSS; time-resolved;

    Sammanfattning : Light is an important source of energy for many living organisms. Many life forms have therefore evolved cellular receptors that are able to sense light and thereby optimise conditions for photosynthesis and pho- totrophy. LÄS MER

  2. 17. Time Resolved Diffraction Studies of Structural Changes in Sensory Rhodopsin

    Författare :Robert Bosman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rhodopsin; SRII; SRII-HtrII; Time-resolved crystallography; Time-resolved wide angle x-ray scattering; TR-X; TR-WAXS; Serial crystallography;

    Sammanfattning : Responding to different light conditions is an essential process for many organisms on earth. Unicellular organisms are no exception to this and mechanisms for controlling cellular movement must often be sensitive to light. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Energetic processing of complex molecules in the gas phase

    Författare :Michael Wolf; Henning Zettergren; Henrik Cederquist; T. Henning Schmidt; Christine Joblin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Collisions between molecules and gas phase targets often lead to various intriguing processes. Such collisions may induce fragmentation of molecules that can be divided into different subsets depending on the projectile, target, and collision energy. LÄS MER

  4. 19. Study of molecular mechanism(s) underlying neurodegeneration in SCA7 disease : Role of NOX enzymes and oxidative stress

    Författare :Abiodun Ajayi; Anna-Lena Ström; Boris Zhivotosky; Bengt Mannervik; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neurodegeneration; polyglutamine; oxidative stress; metabolism; NADPH oxidase; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Sammanfattning : Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG trinucleotide expansion in the SCA7/ATXN7 gene resulting in progressive ataxia and retinal dystrophy. SCA7 belongs to a group of neurodegenerative disorders called polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases, that share the common feature of glutamine tract expansions within otherwise unrelated proteins. LÄS MER

  5. 20. Cystatin C in the Eye and in Specific Model Systems

    Författare :Johan Wasselius; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; protein uptake; ciliary body; lens; cornea; retina; eye; Cystatin C; cathepsin B; Oftalmologi;

    Sammanfattning : It is a necessity of life to make proteins, and it is an equal necessity to degrade those proteins, to eliminate dysfunctional proteins, and leave room for new ones. The processes of protein synthesis and degradation into peptides - proteolysis - have attracted a great interest during the last decades. LÄS MER
