  1. 1. Recombinant Expression of Novel Wild Type Oat Hemoglobins in Escherichia Coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Frank Rummukainen; [2022]
    Keywords : Recombinant technology; Protein expression; Hemoglobin; Phytoglobin; Escherichia coli; Oat; Avena sativa; Heme; Iron; Biosynthesis; Transcription; qPCR; SDS-PAGE; Fermentation; Recombination; Applied Biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Hemoglobin is a protein transporting oxygen through our bloodstreams and is as such essential for aerobic life. Hemoglobins also exist in plants, with a wide variety of functions other than oxygen transport. READ MORE

  3. 2. EXPRESSION OF SUGAR BEET HEMOGLOBIN IN PICHIA PASTORIS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Johan Pettersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Pichia pastoris; expression; sugar beet; hemoglobin; km71; ppic9; ppic3.5; phil-s1; applied biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : People who don’t eat meat can suffer from iron deficiency due to the lower efficiency of absorption of non-heme iron compared to heme iron. The aim of this master thesis was to explore the possibilities of producing a plant-based alternative of heme-iron by evaluating the efficiency of expression of sugar beet hemoglobin in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris.

  4. 3. Identification and Expression of Oat Hemoglobin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Simon Christensen; [2019]
    Keywords : Hemoglobin; Oat; Plant Hemoglobin; Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier; non-symbiotic Hemoglobin; oxygen transporter; applied biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Hemoglobin is mainly viewed as an oxygen and carbon dioxide carrier in the blood of animals and thus essential for life as we know it. During the course of evolution, plants have also developed versions of this protein, for similar and different purposes, such as regulation of nitric oxide levels. READ MORE

  5. 4. Expression and characterization of phytoglobin genes from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Axel Carl-Vilhelm Ögell Benediktsson; [2016]
    Keywords : phytoglobin; hemoglobin; transient expression; characterization; BvHb1.1; BvHb1.2;

    Abstract : Phytoglobin is a plant globin protein similar to hemoglobin, which is found in all vertebrates. Phytoglobin is categorized depending on its origin and characteristics into 6 different classes: phytoglobin class 0, phytoglobin class 1, phytoglobin class 2, symbiotic phytoglobin, legphytoglobin and phytoglobin class 3.

  6. 5. Fatty acid analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana seeds transformed with class 2 non-symbiotic hemoglobins

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Jonas Nehlin; [2015]
    Keywords : applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Arabidopsis; Biodiesel; non-symbiotic hemoglobins; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Biodiesel is a renewable resource that can help reduce the use of fossil fuels and climate change. The main thing holding biodiesel back is the vast quantities of plant oils needed for its production. Increasing the amount of oil produced could greatly increase the economical viability of biodiesel. READ MORE
