26. Poplar wood formation : genotypical influences on structure and chemistry
Sammanfattning : Genotypical effects on wood formation in aspen (Populus tremula x tremuloides) have been studied at morphological, ultrastructural and micro-distributional levels. To characterize transgenically induced modifications, light-, fluorescence-, UV-, scanning- and transmission electron microscopy have been applied complemented by immunolabeling, histochemistry, multivariate statistics and image analysis.

27. Plant cell-inspiredmicrocontainers: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications
Sammanfattning : Biomimetic materials have been inspiring mankind since a longtime for applications in a variety of fields. In particular, the production of lipidbasedvesicles have aided in our understanding of a variety of functions in animalcells, and also served as e.g. drug delivery systems and bioreactors. LÄS MER
28. Interactions of cellulose and model surfaces
Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis is fundamental surface force and friction studies of silica and cellulose surfaces, performed mainly with the atomic force microscope (AFM). The normal interactions between model cellulose surfaces have been found to consist of a longer range double layer force with a short range steric interaction, the nature of which is extensively discussed.

29. 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
30. Engineering protein-carbohydrate interactions - lessons from natural and evolved carbohydrate binding modules
Sammanfattning : Protein-carbohydrate interactions are of central role in all living organism. In the studies presented in this thesis several strategies for engineering such interactions have been investigated. In the first study the binding affinity of a carbohydrate binding module (CBM) was improved a 100-fold through affinity maturation. LÄS MER
