1. Exploring evolutionary and chemical space using chemoinformatic tools and traditional methods in pharmacognosy
Sammanfattning : The number of new drugs coming to the market is declining while interest in lead discovery from natural resources is seeing a revival. Although methods for isolation and identification of natural products have advanced tremendously, methods for selection of potential leads have fallen behind. LÄS MER
2. Novel binding specificities engineered into the scaffold of a carbohydrate binding module
Sammanfattning : The growing field of biotechnology is in constant need of proteins that can function as recognition tools for separational, analytical and therapeutic purposes. Different molecular engineering approaches are applied on natural proteins in order to create variants with desired properties. LÄS MER
3. Modulating Sirtuin Activity - Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Sirtuin 2 Inhibitors
Sammanfattning : Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent lysine deacetylating enzymes targeting histones and a multitude of non-histone proteins. The SIRTs have been related to important cellular processes such as gene expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. They are proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of e.g. LÄS MER
4. degradable electroactive polymers: Synthesis, Macromolecular architecture and scaffold design
Sammanfattning : Electrically conducting polymers induce specific cellular responses at the molecular level. One of the crucial limitations of the use of conducting polymers in tissue engineering is their inability to degrade. LÄS MER
5. Studies of different secondary metabolites : Natural products from the mevalonate pathway
Sammanfattning : Natural products, also called secondary metabolites, are small molecules that are not involved in main life processes. These can be produced by any living organism and play important roles as chemical weapons, protecting the organism from the competitive environment. LÄS MER
