    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Magnus Klinteskog; [2021]
    Keywords : Neisseria; meningitidis; ctrA; crgA; carrier;

    Abstract : Introduction: A Neisseria meningitidis carrier study has been conducted among students at Örebro university in Sweden in 2018 and 2019. Pharyngeal samples were collected from 3489 students. PCR for the genes ctrA and crgA was run on all samples. The positive samples were then cultured on agar plates to find the N. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biophysical characterization of tryptophan mutants in carbonic anhydrase from Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Daniel Dunbring; [2007]
    Keywords : Carbonic Anhydrase; Neisseria Gonorrhoeae; Tryptophan Mutation; purification; Fluorescence; CO2 hydration;

    Abstract : In this project the aim has been to study the model protein carbonic anhydrase in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium whose carbonic anhydrase has great similarities both structurally and functionally with the human form. By measuring and comparing the wild type of NGCA with mutants lacking one of the four tryptophan residues it can be seen what effect these tryptophans has on stability and activity and then compare with the known data of HCA II to learn more about their differences and similarities.
