  1. 11. Heterologous expression and purification of Nicotiana benthamiana Cellulose synthase-like B (NbCslB)

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

    Author : Olivia Ståhl; [2020]
    Keywords : Biotechnology; Cellulose Synthase-Like B; Glycoscience; Glycosyltransferase; Hemicellulose; Nicotiana benthamiana; Bioteknik; Cellulosasyntasliknande B; Glykosyltransferas; Glykovetenskap; Hemicellulosa; Nicotiana benthamiana;

    Abstract : Hemicelluloses are synthesized by proteins encoded by genes from the cellulose synthasegene superfamily. One subgroup of this gene family is the cellulose synthase-like B, which islargely uncharacterized and unexplored. The common model organism Nicotianabenthamiana has one such gene in its genome, NbCslB, encoding a membrane protein. READ MORE

    Abstract : Each year countless lives are affected and about half a million people die from malaria, a disease caused by parasites originating from the Plasmodium family. The most virulent species of the parasite is Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum). READ MORE

  4. 13. Protein environment and structure in neat and hydrated deep eutectic solvents

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

    Author : Jenny Xiang; Medina Basic; [2020]
    Keywords : Deep eutectic solvents; proteins; BSA; lysozyme; choline chloride:glycerol; choline chloride:urea; choline acetate:glycerol; UV-Vis; fluorescence; FT-IR; hydrated deep eutectic solvents; pharmaceutical technology; läkemedelsteknologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has a great potential in the pharmaceutical field due to its many advantages such as biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability. Studies have also shown that proteins can be successfully incorporated into DESs. READ MORE
