  1. 1. Effects of pharmaceutical excipients on the chemical stability of therapeutic proteins in a parenteral formulation

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

    Author : Emmanuel Gulangayan Deniola; [2022]
    Keywords : Chemical stability; protein degradation; GA-Z; somatropin; pharmaceutical excipients; liquid chromatography; pharmaceutical technology; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Proteins and peptides are widely used for the prevention, management, and cure of various illnesses. This vast therapeutic potential represents a significant portion of the pharmaceutical industry in the form of vaccines, antibodies, enzymes, and other protein-based therapeutics. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigating Minor States of the Oncoprotein N-MYC, with Focus on Proline Cis/Trans Isomerisation using NMR Spectroscopy

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Frida Haugskott; [2021]
    Keywords : Myc; N-Myc; Intrinsically Disordered protein IDP ; Proline; cis-trans isomerisation; minor conformation; NMR; cancer;

    Abstract : MYC is a family of three regulator genes that codes for transcription factors. Expression of Myc proteins from MYC genes is found to be deregulated in 70 % of all cancer forms. The three human homologs C-Myc, N-Myc and L-Myc are mainly associated with cancer in the lymphatic system, nerve tissues and lung cancer, respectively. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluating a coarse-grained IDP-model for structure and dynamics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Biofysikalisk kemi

    Author : Louise Kalander; [2021]
    Keywords : IDP; Intrinsically disordered proteins; Histatin 5; Simulation; Biophysical chemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : In this study a coarse-grained model of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is evaluated to determine whether the model is suitable to use for analyzing the structure and dynamics of IDPs. IDPs are proteins that lack a stable tertiary structure which gives them a flexible structure. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterization of Alcohol Modulation of a Pentameric Ligand-gated Ion Channel with Electrophysiology and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Sabina Gutheim; [2021]
    Keywords : Biophysics; Electrophysiology; MD simulations; Ligand-gated ion channels; GLIC; Ethanol modulation; Biofysik; Elektrofysiologi; MDsimuleringar; Pentameriska ligandstyrda jonkanaler; GLIC; Etanolmodulering;

    Abstract : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are membrane receptors that play a crucial role in every living organism. The pLGIC protein structure forms a pore through the membrane of a cell that can let specific ions pass through, upon activation by endogenous agonists. READ MORE

  6. 5. Structural basis of modulation by pH and calcium in a ligand-gated ion channel

    University essay from KTH/Genteknologi

    Author : Olivia Andén; [2021]
    Keywords : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels; bacterial homolog; protein expression; protein purification; cryo-electron microscopy; data processing; protein structure; Pentamerisk ligandstyrd jonkanal; bakteriell homolog; proteinexpression; proteinrening; kryo-elektronmikroskopi;

    Abstract : Pentameriska ligandstyrda jonkanaler (pLGICs) är avgörande för omvandlingen av kemisk till elektrisk signalöverföring i djurs nervsystem. Dysfunktion i dessa kanaler har visat sig vara kopplad till flera sjukdomar inklusive epilepsi, schizofreni, Alzheimers och autism, vilket gör dem till en måltavla för en mängd olika läkemedel.
