  1. 1. Development of ultra-sensitive immunoassay on Gyrolab microfluidic platform using Binding Oligo Ladder Detection : Enhancing Gyrolab biomarker assays using Exazym®

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Sam Vadi Dris; [2024]
    Keywords : Immnoassay; Gyrolab; TNF-alpha; Ultra-sensitive; Cavidi; Exazym; BOLD amplification; Amplification;

    Abstract : Immunoassays are widely used for detection of antigens in a wide range of applications including assays in pharmaceutical development. Immunoassays are continuously improved in many aspects including automatization, miniaturization and extending the dynamic range. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Exploring a unique pocket in Galectin-8N by the synthesis of D-galactoside-based benzimidazole inhibitors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Sid Bartold; [2023]
    Keywords : organic chemistry; synthesis; gal; gal-8; gal-8N; galectin; galectin-8; galectin-8N; inhibitor; drug development; benzimidazole; galactoside; carbohydrate; carbohydrate chemistry; Suzuki-coupling; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Galectins are a family of glycan-binding proteins where galectin-8 is a part of the subgroup known as tandem-repeat type galectins. Galectin-8 is composed of two homologous CRDs, one N- and one C-terminal CRD. As it stands now, galectin-8N has been found to bind to a larger number of glycans than galectin-8C. READ MORE

  6. 5. Generation of a new ADAPT library for stability improvement

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Sumant Yogesh Salphale; [2023]
    Keywords : Phage display; CEACAM5; EpCAM; Trop2; ADAPT; ABD; protein engineering; cancer detection; Fag-display; CEACAM5; EpCAM; Trop2; ADAPT; ABD; proteinteknik; cancerdetektion;

    Abstract : Under senare år har målinriktad terapi varit ett växande område inom cancerterapi som en mer målinriktad behandling än kemoterapi. Dessa behandlingar baseras främst på antikroppsbaserade läkemedel som är ganska stora och komplexa, vilket ökar den totala kostnaden för behandlingen. READ MORE
