  1. 6. Histone modifications and their role in splicing

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Anna Wettermark; [2020]
    Keywords : Splicing; Spliceosome; Histone modifications; epigenetics; histone methylation; histone acetylation; histone phosphorylation; histone ubiquitination;

    Abstract : Splicing is the process when introns gets removed and exons are spliced together. This is an important step to form a clean mRNA with no unnecessary sequences that could interrupt protein synthesis. There are different types of splicing and some of them need a complex called spliceosome. READ MORE

  3. 7. Epigenetiskt arv

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Moa Lindell; [2019]
    Keywords : epigenetik; epigenetisk nedärvning; epigenetiska mekanismer;

    Abstract : Epigenetik är den del av genetiken som behandlar förändringar i genuttryck som är oberoende av förändringar i DNA-sekvensen. Det som styr vilka gener som uttrycks och får effekt på fenotyp har studerats av forskare sedan 70-80-talet. READ MORE

  4. 8. Fracture characteristics of acetylated birch - Experimental and numerical studies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Gary Lai; Samuel Plönning; [2019]
    Keywords : acetylation; modification; birch; fracture mechanics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modication of wood is carried out to increase the durability and dimensional stability of wood, and one of the modication methods is acetylation. Acetylation of wood means that polymers in the cell wall react with acetic anhydride. READ MORE

  5. 9. Finger-jointing of acetylated Scots pine using a conventional MUF resin

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Christian Wincrantz; [2018]
    Keywords : Acetylated wood; Scots pine; juvenile wood; finger-jointing; mechanical properties modulus of rupture.;

    Abstract : Acetylation of wood is a modification technique that chemically alters the wood substance and enhances several properties of wood. The basic principle is to impregnate wood with acetic anhydride to react and replace OH-groups with acetyl groups in the wood cell wall. READ MORE

  6. 10. Effects of acetylation and deacetylation inhibitors on DNA double strand breaks repair and cell survival

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Author : Eugenia Kalliontzi; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During treatment with ionizing radiation (IR), cells are killed mainly due to ionizing radiation caused acute damage to DNA, such as double-strand breaks, where opposite DNA strands in close proximity are cut. To counteract toxicity of double-strand breaks, cells have evolved DNA damage repair systems such as homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining. READ MORE
