  1. 1. Cloning and expressing the genes encoding Glycerol dehydratase (GDHt) and 1,3-Propanediol dehydrogenase (1,3-PDDH) in E. coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Eleni Pechlivani; [2023]
    Keywords : 1; 3-Propanediol; Glycerol dehydratase; 3-Propanediol dehydrogenase; Glycerol dehydratase reactivase; E. coli; Protein expression; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The biodiesel sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a significant increase in glycerol production as a by-product. Addressing the challenge of glycerol valorization is crucial for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigation of enzymatic mediated CO2 capture : A computational study of enzymatic systems

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Amelie Grunditz; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Enzymes converting CO2 can be helpful with battling today’s environmental problems with global warming due to greenhouse gases. It can also contribute to make industrial processes cheaper and cleaner. During this project, enzymes have been studied to understand the process better. READ MORE

  4. 3. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
    Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

  5. 4. Utsöndrade extracellulära vesiklar (EV) från hästens spolmask Parascaris univalens och deras immunmodulerande roll

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Karin Tufvesson; [2022]
    Keywords : Extracellulära vesiklar; Parascaris univalens; hästens spolmask; ST2; DUSP1; PCR;

    Abstract : Under det senaste decenniet har ett nytt forskningsområde vuxit fram som handlar om kartläggning av extracellulära vesiklar (EV) från parasiter samt hur de kan påverka värddjurets immunförsvar. EV är lipidmembranförsedda blåsor innehållande bland annat proteiner och nukleinsyror och som används för cellkommunikation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a DNA barcode for species identification of tuna

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Clara Nordquist; Jonathan Edwall; Leonora Eriksson; Nelly Mäkinen; Minna Sayehban; Matilda Styfberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Thunnini; D-loop; mitochondrial control region; CR; 16S; ATP8; COII; Cox2; CytB; COI; Cox1; ND2; NADH dehydrogenase 2;

    Abstract : Today, DNA-barcoding with the gene COI is regularly used in the identification of fish. However, this is not an adequate way of identifying species of tuna due to COI lacking sufficient interspecies divergence. This is problematic since fraud and mislabeling are a major concern within the fish and tuna industries. READ MORE
