  1. 1. Development of a PNA-drug conjugate for pretargeted delivery of cytotoxic drugs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Theranostics

    Author : Astrid Haraldsson; [2023]
    Keywords : PNA; pretargeting; cancer therapy; cytotoxic payload;

    Abstract : One of the major challenges in cancer treatment is delivering high enough doses of active substance specifically to cancer cells without accumulation in healthy organs. Pretargeting has emerged as a potential solution, where the delivery of a cancer recognizing (primary) agent and a cancer killing (secondary) agent are separated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Nuclear Structure near the Proton Drip-line: A Search for Excited States in 62Ge

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Dalia Farghaly; [2022]
    Keywords : nuclear physics; nuclear structure; proton drip-line; excited states; germanium; fusion-evaporation reaction; experimental nuclear physics; gamma sphere; gamma spectroscopy; HPGe detectors; data analysis; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : An experiment to study mirror symmetry in the mass A = 60 region was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2020. The fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca + 24Mg → 64Ge* at a beam energy of 106 MeV was used to populate excited states in 62Ge. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reducing cadmium emissions to water during removal of electrostatic precipitator ash : Investigating the effect of process parameters on the formation and precipitation of insoluble cadmium salts in water solutions

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Lukas Esperi; [2022]
    Keywords : cadmium; electrostatic precipitator ash; heavy metals; hydroxide precipitation; recovery boiler; elfilteraska; hydroxidfällning; kadmium; sodapanna; tungmetaller;

    Abstract : The removal of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) ash by solving the ash in water constitutes an environmental problem if heavy metals, such as cadmium, present in the ash remain in the outgoing effluent streams. The ESP ash solution is alkaline, meaning cadmium is present as the insoluble salt Cd(OH)2, cadmium hydroxide. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterisation of structure and stability differences between the C-lobes of human and P. falciparum calmodulin in the presence of calmidazolium

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Igor Blagojevic; Klara Enockson; Marcus Miras Landelius; Ylva Strid Holmertz; Emelie Weinesson; Emma Örnelöw; [2022]
    Keywords : Calmodulin; Calmidazolium; Plasmodium falciparum; Malaria; Fluorescence spectroscopy; UV spectroscopy; CD; Circular dichroism; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Malaria is a serious disease that can lead to fatal consequences if not treated. It is mainly spread via Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite carried by mosquitoes as host organisms. As a potential way of treating malaria, research is being done on possible inhibitors of calmodulin (CaM) in the parasite. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigation of the function of the SH3-like domain of the Saccharopolyspora erythraea iron-dependent regulator

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Carita Hammar; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The bacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea is utilized to produce the widely used antibiotic erythromycin. With the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance, the development of derivatives of the drug is of great importance. To produce antibiotics biosynthetically, it is crucial to understand the metabolic pathways utilized by the bacterium. READ MORE
