  1. 11. Optimizing cross-linking to study the interactions between AQP0 and CaM and AQP2 and LIP5

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Rawya Hussein; [2018]
    Keywords : biochemistry; biokemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Mammals express thirteen different isoforms of the membrane-bound water channel aquaporin in a tissue-dependent manner. From a medical point of view, two of the most studied isoforms are aquaporin (AQP0), also known as major intrinsic protein and aquaporin 2 (AQP2). READ MORE

  3. 12. Production of gangliosidebiosynthetic membrane enzymes for biochemical and functionalstudies : Expression, purification and crystallizationoptimization of Thermococcus onnurineus Dolicho l-phosphate mannose synthase, Homosapiens and Branchiostoma floridae Glucosylceramide synthase

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

    Author : Ellinor Lindholm; [2018]
    Keywords : glycoconjugates; glycolipids; integral membrane proteins; gangliosides; glucosylceramide synthase; dolicholphosphate mannose synthase; cancer; neuroblastoma; congenital disorders of glycosylation; glykokonjukat; glykolipider; membranprotein; gangliosider; glukosylceramidsyntas; dolicholfosfat mannossyntas; cancer; neuroblastom; medfdd glykosyleringssjukdom;

    Abstract : Glycolipids play important roles in the biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including humans, and although theyare found on the cell-membrane surface of all eukaryotic cells, not much is known about their biosynthesis. The aim ofthis project was to characterize two enzymes: glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) which is involved in the biosynthesisof glycolipids such as gangliosides that are abundant in the membranes of nerve cells; and dolicholphosphate mannosesynthase (DPMS), involved in the synthesis precursor for protein glycosylation.

  4. 13. Overexpression and Purification of Mouse Divalent Metal Transporter 1 (mDMT1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Olivia Arbab; [2016]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The membrane integrated divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) functions as a transporter of mainly iron across cellular membranes within the human body. Studies indicate that dysregulated transport by DMT1 causes accumulation of iron within the midbrain leading to neuronal cell death – a common symptom among patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease (PD).

  5. 14. The effect of vegetable fat on cheese yield and cheese properties

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Marcus Hjalmarsson; [2015]
    Keywords : cheese; analogue cheese; vegetable fat; cheese yield; texture;

    Abstract : The production of cheese is in continuous development with objectives to in-crease productivity, achieve changes in shelf life and functional properties of the products. One concept in the development is to substitute milk fat with vegetable fats and oils in the manufacture of cheese. READ MORE

  6. 15. Lactose crystallization in drum dried, freeze dried and spray dried skim milk powders

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Annette Bick; [2015]
    Keywords : lactose crystallization; skim milk powder; glass transition; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Crystallization of amorphous lactose during storage at high relative humidity and high temperatures has been found to impair the quality of skim milk powders. This is related to the glass transition of lactose. READ MORE
