  1. 41. Overexpression and purification of MSP2N2 for nanodisc assembly and reconstitution of TRPA1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Isabelle Bäckström; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Membrane proteins are important building blocks for several biochemical processes. The difficulty with membrane proteins is that they tend to be lowly expressed and can be difficult to manage. Therefore, membrane proteins are studied to a lesser extent than soluble proteins.

  3. 42. Evaluation of Wet Spinning of Fungal and Shellfish Chitosan for Medical Applications

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Ghasem Mohammadkhani; [2021]
    Keywords : Chitosan fiber; Fungal fiber; Wet spinning; Hydrogel; Suture applications;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to address the food waste problem, particularly bread waste, to some extent by producing monofilaments obtained from wet spinning of fungal hydrogel through the cultivation of Rhizopus delemar on bread waste. The project had two phases. READ MORE

  4. 43. The transfer of chromosomal genes through bacterial conjugation in Escherichia coli

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

    Author : Arijana Katana; [2021]
    Keywords : conjugation; escherichia coli; hybrid;

    Abstract : Evolution in bacteria occurs through the combined effects of spontaneous mutations and horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Several mechanisms can lead to HGT: (i) transformation, the uptake of DNA from the environment; (ii) transduction, the transfer of DNA carried by a bacteriophage into another bacterium during infection; and (iii) conjugation, bacterial mating mediated by a conjugative plasmid like the F-factor.

  5. 44. Structural basis of modulation by pH and calcium in a ligand-gated ion channel

    University essay from KTH/Genteknologi

    Author : Olivia Andén; [2021]
    Keywords : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels; bacterial homolog; protein expression; protein purification; cryo-electron microscopy; data processing; protein structure; Pentamerisk ligandstyrd jonkanal; bakteriell homolog; proteinexpression; proteinrening; kryo-elektronmikroskopi;

    Abstract : Pentameriska ligandstyrda jonkanaler (pLGICs) är avgörande för omvandlingen av kemisk till elektrisk signalöverföring i djurs nervsystem. Dysfunktion i dessa kanaler har visat sig vara kopplad till flera sjukdomar inklusive epilepsi, schizofreni, Alzheimers och autism, vilket gör dem till en måltavla för en mängd olika läkemedel.

  6. 45. Recombinant Food Proteins Expressed in E. coli as Complement to Plant Proteins in the Protein Shift

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Anthon Izad Khast Wellerfeld; [2021]
    Keywords : recombinant food proteins; protein shift; protein functionality; plant-based; meat analogs; dairy; food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Increased awareness regarding nutrition, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare has sparked a trend to shift away from animal proteins. The phenomenon is referred to as the protein shift and has resulted in a higher demand for alternative protein sources. READ MORE
