1. 1. Application of Biomimetic Membrane Models in Expansion Microscopy

   University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

   Author : Praghadhesh Thiagarajan; [2023]
   Keywords : Fluorescence microscopy; expansion microscopy; GPMV; inter-leaflet asymmetry; Fluorescensmikroskopi; expansionsmikroskopi; GPMV; asymmetri mellan lagren;

   Abstract : Plasmamembranet är en komplex struktur som består av biomolekyler som lipider, proteiner och glykaner. Membranets rena komplexitet begränsar vår förmåga att förstå den spatiotemporala dynamiken hos sådana komponenter och deras kollektiva biofysiska membranparametrar. READ MORE

3. 2. Native incorporation of outer membrane proteins into vesicles suitable for high resolution NMR spectroscopy

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Mohammed Mouhib; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins. The method has mainly been used for membrane proteins solubilized in detergent or embedded in membrane mimetic systems. READ MORE

4. 3. Characterization of Macrophage Activation Induced by Leukotoxin from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans 

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

   Author : Niklas Sundling; Lisa Lü; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT  Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, non-motile coccobacilli colonizing the human oral cavity and is strongly associated with localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP). Aa possesses several virulence mechanisms, among others; Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin found in the outer membrane of Aa and Leukotoxin (LtxA), an exotoxin attached to the bacterial cell surface or in outer membrane vesicles and which has been correlating with periodontal disease mostly.

5. 4. The importance of OuterMembrane Protein A in SerumResistance in Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans serotype astrain D7SS

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

   Author : Arvid Dahlstrand Rudin; John Burstedt; [2017]
   Keywords : Periodontal disease; Periodontitis; Aggressive periodontitis; Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans; Escherichia coli; Virulence factors; Complement system; Outer membrane vesicles; Membrane vesicles; Outer membrane proteins; OmpA; Omp100; Omp34; Omp29.;

   Abstract : The Gram-negative bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is primarily associatedwith aggressive forms of periodontal disease. Additionally, it has occasionally been found to causemetastatic infections in non-oral sites. This requires the ability to evade the bactericidal activity ofthe complement system of the humoral immune system. READ MORE
