  1. 1. HisA mutants with minor structural differences display major functional deviations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Struktur- och molekylärbiologi

    Author : András Erdélyi; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Even though enzymes tend to specialize on one reaction during evolution, enzyme promiscuity is an abundant phenomenon. The subject of this thesis is the Salmonella enterica N’-[(5’-phosphosoribosyl)-formimino]-5-aminoimidazole-4 carboxamide-ribonucleotide (ProFAR) isomerase (SeHisA), a (βα)8-barrel enzyme from the histidine biosynthesis that catalyzes one reaction on one substrate in one organism.

  3. 2. Computational Design of an Enzyme-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Max Pettersson; [2016]
    Keywords : Diels-Alderase; Enzyme design; Catalysis; Computational chemistry; Molecular modelling;

    Abstract :    The Diels-Alder is an important reaction that is one of the primary tools for synthesizing cyclic carbon structures, while simultaneously introducing up to four stereocenters in the resulting product. Not only is it a widely explored reaction in organic chemistry, but a vital tool in industry to construct novel compounds for pharmacological applications. READ MORE

  4. 3. Transcriptome analysis of Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus) using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Nima Rafati; [2011]
    Keywords : Atlantic Herring; Transcriptome; RNA-Seq; Next Generation Sequencing;

    Abstract : The Atlantic herring is one of the most abundant fish species in the Northern hemisphere especially in the Northeast Atlantic. There are various stocks of this fish due to their spawning time and their vast distribution. READ MORE

  5. 4. How to kill a parasite : a report : an inhibitor study of ribose-5-phosphate isomerase B from Giardia lamblia as a possible drug target

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biology (until 131231)

    Author : Daniel Steinhauf; [2010]
    Keywords : Giardia lamblia; Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase; Giardiasis; Inhibitor; Parasite; Diarrhea; Pentose phosphate pathway; 4PEH;

    Abstract : The parasite Giardia lamblia is known to cause the disease giardiasis, which is a major threat against the public health, especially in developing countries. A recent study has shown that over 200 million people have giardiasis now, and about 500 000 more people are infected every year. A G. READ MORE

  6. 5. Gene fishing in Cataglyphis fortis – Identification of genes inthe desert ant

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Ulrike Münzner; [2009]
    Keywords : Cataglyphis fortis; gene fishing; primer design; bioinformatics; thermophile;

    Abstract : The desert ant Cataglyphis fortis lives in the Sahara desert where it is exposed to extreme temperatures up to 70° C. In other words, the organism is considered as a thermophile. Until now the genome remains unknown but the fact that C. READ MORE
