  1. 11. Membrane Protein Tailoring and Structural Studies of Leukotriene C4 Synthase

    Författare :Daniel Martinez Molina; Pär Nordlund; Robert M. Stroud; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; membrane proteins; random mutagenesis; detergent screening; Leukotriene C₄ synthase; IMAC; Structural biology; Strukturbiologi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Despite a dramatic increase in the number of proteins that have been structurally characterized in recent years, there are still less than 200 unique structures of membrane proteins known today. This is only 1% of the total number of unique protein structures found in structural databases worldwide. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Structural and functional studies of proteins of medical relevance : Protein-ligand complexes in cancer and novel structural folds in bacteria

    Författare :Robert Gustafsson; Pål Stenmark; Pavlína Řezáčová; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray crystallography; Cancer; MTH1; oxidised nucleotides; MTHFD2; nucleotide metabolism; one-carbon metabolism; Botulism; Botulinum neurotoxin; OrfX; OrfX gene cluster; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : X-ray crystallography is a tool for determining the structures of proteins and protein-ligand complexes. In this thesis the method has been employed to study several proteins of medical relevance.Cancer is a terrible disease, severely impacting those affected, as well as their family and friends.

  4. 13. Prediction of zinc-binding sites in proteins and efficient protein structure description and comparison

    Författare :Nanjiang Shu; Sven Hovmöller; Elisabeth Sauer-Eriksson; Alexander Luybartsev; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zinc-binding; shape strings; protein structures; secondary structures; machine learning; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Structural biology; Strukturbiologi; Biochemistry; biokemi; strukturbiologi; Structural Biology; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : A large number of proteins require certain metals to stabilize their structures or to function properly. About one third of all proteins in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) contain metals and it is estimated that approximately the same proportion of all proteins are metalloproteins. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Structural Studies of Flexible Biomolecules and a DNA-binding Protein

    Författare :Tariq Massad; Pål Stenmark; Cheryl Arrowsmith; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maximum entropy; motilin; DNA-binding proteins; Karplus equation; disaccaride; direct repeats; Structural biology; Strukturbiologi; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : The knowledge of the three-dimensional structures of proteins and polypeptides is essential to understand their functions. The work shown in this thesis has two objectives. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Nanoscopic adventures : unraveling macromolecular complexes in infectious diseases via integrative structural biology

    Författare :Kai Patric Ehrenbolger; Ronnie Berntsson; Felipe Cava; Jonas Barandun; David Drew; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Infectious diseases; E. faecalis; Microsporidia; Ribosome; Proteasome; Polar Tube; Structural Biology; Single particle Cryo-Electron Microscopy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of infectious diseases, which claim nearly 9 million lives annually. The research centers on critical analysis of pathogen mechanisms and drug resistance. I have mainly focused on two clades of pathogens: Enterococcus faecalis and microsporidia. E. LÄS MER
