    Abstract : Mass spectroscopy imaging (MSI) has become a vital tool in modern research due to its ability to visualize the spatial distribution of molecules within tissue samples. The collaboration between researchers at AZ, the University of Gothenburg, and Chalmers University of Technology using the NanoSIMS instrument and MSI-SIMS technology has opened up new avenues of exploration in pharmaceutical development, particularly in examining drugs and metabolites at sub-cellular levels.

    Keywords : SLC38A1; SNAT1; SLC38A2; SNAT2; SLC38A3; SNAT3; SLC38A4; SNAT4; SLC38A5; SNAT5; SLC38A6; SNAT6; SLC38A7; SNAT7; SLC38A8; SNAT8; SLC38A9; SNAT9; SLC38A10; SNAT10; SLC38A11; SNAT11; SLC; SLC38; SNATs; SNAT; RT-qPCR; GABA; glutamine; glutamate;

    Abstract : Solute carriers consist of over 400 genes and 66 subfamilies and are the largest group of membrane bound transporters. They facilitate movement of many molecules through cells and organelles and are crucial for upholding many key functions in the human body. They are also involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of diazepam binding inhibitor as a structure-function tool for human ɣ-aminobutyric acid-A receptors

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Szabolcs Simon-Guth; [2023]
    Keywords : γ-Aminobutyric acid sub-type A receptors; diazepam binding inhibitor; receptor modulation; recombinant protein expression; two-electrode voltage clamp; dose-response curve; Gammaaminosmörsyrareceptor typ A; Diazepambindande hämmare; receptormodulering; reckmbinant proteinexpression; spänningsklämma med två elektroder; dosresponskurva;

    Abstract : Gammaaminosmörsyrareceptorer typ A (GABAAR) är pentameriska ligandstyrda kloridkanaler som uppvisar neurohämmande egenskaper. Därmed är de primära läkemedelsmål för flera ångestdämpande och lugnande läkemedel som används för att minska förekomsten av aktionspotential i neuroner. READ MORE

  5. 4. Studies of broad-spectrum inhibitors against main protease of SARS-CoV-2 and other Coronaviruses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Alexandra Stanciu; [2023]
    Keywords : human coronavirus 229E; SARS-CoV-2; main protease; nirmatrelvir; GC-376; compound 19;

    Abstract : Coronaviruses have caused three large outbreaks in the past century. The most recent one, also still ongoing, is represented by the SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 pandemic. Efforts have been taken to develop efficient vaccines and antivirals and one of the major virus-based targets in drug development is represented by the main protease of these viruses. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design and Evaluation of Peptide Binders : In silico evaluation and comparison of generative AI for de novo peptide binder design

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och bioinformatik

    Author : Linde Brokmar; [2023]
    Keywords : Protein design; de novo design; protein engineering; generative ai; machine learning; peptide binders; AF2; EvoBind; RFdiffusion; ProteinMPNN;

    Abstract : Peptide binders are short proteins that bind to larger proteins. Due to peptide binders having high specificity and being cheap to synthesize, they are a prime candidate for drug design. Creating new proteins in silico can be divided into three steps: protein backbone generation, sequence design, and computational filtering. READ MORE
