  1. 1. Characterization of potato protein and its calcium binding capacity

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

    Author : Signe König; Erika Thomson; [2023]
    Keywords : Patatin; Calcium; Food supplement; Calcium Assay; Alcalase; potato protein; Applied biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Calcium is essential for the human body as it has functions in the nervous system, bones and formation of teeth. Deficiency in this important nutrient can be detrimental to health and cause life-long issues. Calcium can be found in various foods, like dairy products, but certain plant-based alternatives to milk needs to be fortified with calcium. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development and Evaluation of an Enzyme-Based Sunscreen

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Karolina Eriksson Torfgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzyme activity; UV-filter; Protease; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Ultraviolet radiation (UVR), specifically of UVA and UVB, has been associated with the development of both photoaging and photo-carcinogenesis, potentially leading to cancer. The use of sun protection in the form of UV filters is known to minimize these damages. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of strategies for construction of protease libraries in yeast.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Sidharth Jaya Sankar; [2022]
    Keywords : Yeast; GFP-fusion technology; protease; applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Proteases are a group of enzymes that are involved in breaking down larger proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and they are used in various applications. In this project, the potential of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as host for the construction of protease libraries is evaluated. READ MORE

  5. 4. Structure-based design of new antiviral substances against the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus

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

    Author : Elin Öberg; [2022]
    Keywords : x-ray crystallography; protein crystallization; Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus; structure-based drug design; applied biochemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is a highly infectious alphavirus responsible for severe outbreaks and epidemics in the Americas. The nonstructural protein 2 (nsP2) cysteine protease plays a fundamental role in the VEEV replication process, and is therefore, an attractive drug target for structure-based drug design using x-ray crystallography.

  6. 5. Development of an antibioticsresistancebased method fordirected evolution of proteases

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Vilma Lagebro; [2020]
    Keywords : Protease engineering; protease; directed evolution; TEVp; Amyloid beta; CAT;

    Abstract : Proteases have a fundamental role in regulating diverse biological processes and are important in the biotechnological and medical fields. Therapeutic proteases have great potential but have been limited due to the lack of high throughput protein engineering methods. READ MORE
