1. Establishing the mechanistic basis of sugar transport
Sammanfattning : Sugar is a vital molecule required for cell viability and homeostasis. Sugar is important for metabolic energy, energy storage, signaling, structure and osmolyte regulation. Transport of sugar represents an important physiological process. LÄS MER
2. Studies of the Carbon and Energy Metabolism in the Moss Physcomitrella patens
Sammanfattning : Since a proper balance between anabolic and catabolic reactions is essential for all eukaryotes, the basic mechanisms for regulation of the energy and carbon metabolism have been conserved throughout evolution. The moss Physcomitrella patens, which belongs to one of the basal clades among land plants, has many unique properties that make it an excellent plant model system. LÄS MER
3. Regulation of insulin producing cells, stress responses and metabolism in Drosophila
Sammanfattning : In Drosophila, neuropeptides have regulatory roles in development, growth, metabolism and reproduction. This study focused on GABA and the neuropeptides Drosophila tachykinin (DTK), short neuropeptide F (sNPF), adipokinetic hormone (AKH), corazonin (CRZ) and Drosophila insulin-like peptides (DILPs) as possible regulators of metabolic stress responses and homeostasis.

4. Biochemical and Physiological Characterization of Nonsymbiotic Plant Hemoglobins
Sammanfattning : Hemoglobins (Hb) are usually associated with blood in humans. However, these proteins are widely distributed among living organisms. In plants the most known group are the leghemoglobins. Still, other Hbs that not participate in symbiosis are also found. LÄS MER
5. Computational analysis of oligosaccharide conformations – methodological development, applied studies, and design of glycomimetics
Sammanfattning : Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of biomolecules. Besides their roles as structural elements and energy storage, they are involved in signaling and recognition processes. Their functions and activities depend on their preferred conformations. LÄS MER
