  1. 1. Characterization of Mitilysin Pores by Cryo-electron Microscopy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Vladimir Novakovic; [2023]
    Keywords : Mitilysin; Mly; Structural Biology; Cryo-EM; pore; toxin; pore forming proteins; pore forming toxins; PFP; PFT;

    Abstract : Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are a large group of proteins found mainly in bacteria with some exceptions found in animals. They bind and form pores in their target membranes and form pores, which leads to cell death. Among these are cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC), which require the presence of cholesterol to bind target membranes. READ MORE

  3. 2. Computer-aided Design of Polyhedral DNA Nanostructures

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Pavan Kumar Areddy; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For the past three decades DNA has been exploited as building material for programmable self-assembly of diverse supramolecular architectures. Since 2006, DNA origami method offers a bottom-up route to fabricate nanometer-scale objects with molecular weights in megadalton regime. READ MORE

  4. 3. Nanostructures on a Vector : Enzymatic Oligo Production for DNA Nanotechnology

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

    Author : Camilla Sandén; [2012]
    Keywords : DNA origami; Rolling Circle Amplification; Phage; Scaffold; Oligonucleotides;

    Abstract : The technique of DNA origami utilizes the specific and limited bonding properties of DNA to fold single stranded DNA sequences of various lengths to form a predesigned structure. One longer sequence is used as a scaffold and numerous shorter sequences called staples, which are all complementary to the scaffold sequence, are used to fold the scaffold into intricate shapes.
