  1. 36. Structural investigation of human mitochondrial translation and off-target antibiotic binding

    Författare :Vivek Singh; Alexey Amunts; Yaser Hashem; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mitochondrial translation; mitoribosome; electron cryo-microscopy; LRPPRC-SLIRP; antibiotics; streptomycin; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Human mitochondrial translation machinery has evolved to translate 13 mitochondrial mRNAs encoding components of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway responsible for ATP production. The structural basis of human mitochondrial translation is distinct from the canonical bacterial and cytosolic translation systems. LÄS MER

  3. 37. Structural and biochemical insights into biosynthesis and degradation of N-glycans

    Författare :Tom Reichenbach; Christina Divne; David Drew; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; N-glycan; biosynthesis; degradation; glycosyltransferase; glycoside hydrolase; biofuel; enzyme; membrane protein; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Carbohydrates are a primary energy source for all living organisms, but importantly, they also participate in a number of life-sustaining biological processes, e.g. cell signaling and cell-wall synthesis. The first part of the thesis examines glycosyltransferases that play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of N-glycans. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Light’EM up! : structural characterization of light-driven membrane protein complexes by cryogenic electron microscopy

    Författare :André Tomás Graça; Wolfgang P. Schröder; Johannes Messinger; Karina Persson; Werner Kühlbrandt; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 3D reconstruction; Arabidopsis thaliana; assembly; chlorophyll; cryo-EM; cyanobacteria; Deinococus radiodurans; electron; land plants; membrane protein complexes; Photosystem II; proton; single-particle analysis; S-Layer Deinoxanthin Binding Complex SDBC ; water.; Biochemistry; biokemi; biologisk kemi; biological chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis is probably the most important process for allowing life to develop into the diverse forms we see today. In this process, solar radiation is used to convert CO2 into biomass. From this process, we obtain oxygen to breathe, sources of food (plant biomass), and the potential for clean and sustainable energy. LÄS MER

  5. 39. Thermodynamical and structural properties of proteins and their role in food allergy

    Författare :Louise Rundqvist; Göran Larsson; Göran Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Protein folding; NMR; Food allergy; allergen; protein interactions; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Proteins are important building blocks of all living organisms. They are composed of a defined sequence of different amino acids, and fold into a specific three-dimensional, ordered structure. The three-dimensional structure largely determines the function of the protein, but protein function always requires motion. LÄS MER

  7. 40. Visualizing structural dynamics: from small molecules to membrane proteins

    Författare :Magnus Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; membrane protein; bacteriorhodopsin; proteorhodopsin; halorhodopsin; structural dynamics; time-resolved X-ray scattering;

    Sammanfattning : To fully understand the mechanism of a chemical reaction, it is important to characterize the rapid structural dynamics of transient chemical species as the reaction propagates. Since chemical processes are heavily influenced by the solvent in which they occur, the interaction with the surrounding solution also needs to be elucidated. LÄS MER
