1. 1. Search for the Argonaute protein that governs miRNA regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Miranda Åström; [2021]
   Keywords : Argonaute proteins; RNA interference; miRNA; 3xFLAG-tag;

   Abstract : MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression through RNA interference. These small RNAs enact gene silencing by forming a RNA-inducing silencing complex together with the effector protein Argonaute. The function of the Argonautes in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is not yet fully understood. READ MORE

3. 2. Finding a stabilized sequence for reconstructed Icosahedra Lumazine Synthase by random mutagenesis and Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Caroline Olsson; [2019]
   Keywords : Icosahedra; Assembly; Lumazine Synthase; Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting; FACS; Directed evolution; Random mutagenesis; Stability; Structure; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Chemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Lumazine Synthase forms pentamers, C5 in some organism and icodahedra, Ih in other. The aim of this project is to investigate which evolutionary steps could have led the pentamers to assembly into icosahedral capsids. READ MORE

4. 3. Recombinant spider silk with antimicrobial properties

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Linnea Nilebäck; [2013]
   Keywords : Spider silk; antimicrobial peptides; bactericidal enzymes; recombinant production; antibacterial assays; Spindeltråd; antimikrobiella peptider; antibakteriella enzymer; rekombinant produktion; antibakteriella analyser;

   Abstract : Immobilizing antimicrobial substances onto biocompatible materials is an important approach for the design of novel, functionalized medical devices. By choosing antimicrobial substances from innate immune systems, the risk for development of resistance in pathogenic microbes is lower than if conventional antibiotics are used. READ MORE

5. 4. Unsupervised hidden Markov model for automatic analysis of expressed sequence tags

   University essay from Bioinformatik

   Author : Andrei Alexsson; [2011]
   Keywords : Machine learning; Markov Model; Hidden Markov Model; Expressed sequence tag; EST; Baum-Welch; 1-best; Unsupervised; Supervised; GHMM;

   Abstract : This thesis provides an in-depth analyze of expressed sequence tags (EST) that represent pieces of eukaryotic mRNA by using unsupervised hidden Markov model (HMM). ESTs are short nucleotide sequences that are used primarily for rapid identificationof new genes with potential coding regions (CDS). READ MORE

6. 5. Odorant binding protein and olfactory receptors: plausible role as detectors in an odorant biosensor

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

   Author : Linda Bengtsson; [2011]
   Keywords : odorant binding protein; olfaction; olfactory receptor; secretion; signal sequence;

   Abstract : The development of an inexpensive, portable, stable, sensitive and selective biosensor for detection of odorants is a daunting task. Here, we hypothesized the development of a detector layer composed of the protein groups; the olfactory receptors (ORs) and the odorant binding proteins (OBPs), known to bind odorants in animal sensing.
