  1. 1. Transient state UV spectroscopy of Tyrosine and Tyrosine-containing protein

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Hongjian Chen; [2023]
    Keywords : Tyrosine; Calmodulin; Autofluorescence; Transient-state monitoring; Electronic state transitions; Tyrosin; Calmodulin; Autofluorescens; Transient-tillståndsövervakning; Elektroniska tillståndsövergångar;

    Abstract : The aromatic amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine have been extensively used for different label-free protein studies. These investigations extract information on protein conformations and interactions from the emitted fluorescence's intensity, wavelength, and/or polarization. READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterisation of structure and stability differences between the C-lobes of human and P. falciparum calmodulin in the presence of calmidazolium

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Abstract : Malaria is a serious disease that can lead to fatal consequences if not treated. It is mainly spread via Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite carried by mosquitoes as host organisms. As a potential way of treating malaria, research is being done on possible inhibitors of calmodulin (CaM) in the parasite. READ MORE
